Review Comments
The word 玄 is defined as 玄SAT-06795. This is no doubt a reference to the well known passage from the Laozi, where SAT-06795 is more commonly written as 牝: 谷神不死，是謂玄牝。
As Lee’s comment on #11432, the better glyph should be ⿰爿匕 like Evidence 2. 《隨函録》also gives ⿰爿匕.

Potentially unifiable to 牝 (U+725D).
It's extremely common for 牛 and 爿 to be mixed up in 俗字. Suggest that we unify them but not sure if this should be in UCV level 2.
No response as yet form the submitter and the sources for the evidence not is clearly identified. Does this only appear in one printed edition or many? Conversely what examples are there where 牛 and 爿 have been mixed up, and have this been encoded separately?
