What 镾 means
It means “lasting a long time” and is read mí. In Mandarin, mí sounds like “mee” with a rising pitch.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, records 镾 under 長 (“long”) and glosses it as 久長 (“lasting a long time”); 爾 is its sound component in the character analysis. Later use settled on 彌, leaving 镾 as an old form; Simplified Chinese writes the same word 弥.
Historical and specialist; it marks an older form, not an ordinary modern Chinese spelling.
For the usual modern form, use 彌 in Traditional Chinese or 弥 in Simplified Chinese.
