It is read as tsoe42 in Nüshu.

It belongs to women's writing
Women in Jiangyong, many unable to write Chinese characters, used Nüshu for poems, songs, women's letters, and good-wish booklets given brides three days after marriage. The earliest known artifact is a coin from China's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a rebel state (1851–1864), bearing a sisterhood message. China listed Nüshu as documentary heritage in 2002 and intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
