Found in the historical Kangxi dictionary published during the Qing dynasty and cited from 《古今注》, a narrative work on ancient China written by 崔豹 during the Western Jin period (265–316 AD).

The scholars who compiled the Kangxi dictionary may have confused this character with 𩶥 which is visually similar.
