What 閚 means
It means “to stand and wait.” The Chinese character dictionary 玉篇 gives 閚 the gloss 立待; later Chinese reference works preserve the same meaning.
Is 閚 standard chat shorthand?
No; it is not standard chat shorthand. In chat, read 閚 as a rare literary word, a quotation, or a possible typo.
Its written form places 立 inside the enclosing component 門. Taiwan’s CNS11643 character record describes that layout (2024); typefaces can draw the strokes differently without changing the character.
Literary and obscure; it is a poor fit for casual chat.
In casual chat, 閚 may be mistaken for a typo.
