What 𛇻 means
It writes a spoken syllable in local Jiangyong Chinese. Its local reading is thau35; 35 marks the tone. Several words can share this sound, so nearby writing supplies the meaning.
Nüshu grew from local Chinese writing
In Jiangyong, Hunan, women reshaped Chinese characters to write local speech in songs, sister letters and wedding books; many could not read Chinese characters.
The earliest known Nüshu artifact is a coin minted 1851–1864; written records appear in the 1930s. In 2006, China listed Nüshu as intangible cultural heritage, a living tradition.
