What 鼡 means

It means the same as 鼠: “mouse” or “rat.” A form of it is recorded in texts from Chu, an ancient Chinese state, written on bamboo and silk. Japanese references classify it as an extended shinjitai, a nonstandard extension of simplified kanji forms used in Japanese. In a Japanese place name, 古鼡 abbreviates 古鼠.

Rare; chiefly in old records or Japanese place-name spellings.

In a new message, it can look like a typo for 鼠.
