What 雟 means
It names a bird, a place, and an old wheel-turning term. The classical cuckoo name 子雟 is also written 子規; the historical southwestern place name appears as 越巂 and 越嶲. An old word explanation also links 雟 with 規 for “one turn of a wheel.” The surrounding word or passage determines which sense fits.
The related form 巂 appears in bronze inscriptions and Qin manuscripts, followed by clerical and regular script, two styles of Chinese writing. It is historically connected to 雟.
Historical and lexicographic; it belongs in quoted texts, place-name discussions, or character-reference work.
Alone, 雟 leaves the bird and place-name readings open; its surrounding phrase carries the clue.
