[edit]

It looks like this character is a nonce semantic variant of pù 曝 "expose to the sun; reveal" in the fish-related context of 曝鰓 "expose one's gills" (often used as a shortening of the idiom, 曝鰓龍門, metaphorically meaning something like "facing an insurmountable challenge") because 𩸬 only appears in the context of 𩸬鰓. As far as I can tell, this character only appears in one anonymous Tang poem https://ctext.org/library.pl?if=gb&file=62653&page=52 (ignore the bad OCR transcription) Mikeopoe (talk) 23:49, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
