U+885A 衚

The evidence shows this is a general geographical name (地理通名). This general geographical name is used widely in Beijing, the following book provided eight forms from different materials, and the authors checked 《京师坊巷志稿》 written by 朱一新 and found that several forms were not used in the real geographical names.

Note that 《京师坊巷志稿》 is the authoritative material to study the local history of Beijing, and you will see this book is mentioned in so many guideboards inside Beijing Second Ring Road. 朱一新 came from 浙江义乌, but he collected the first-hand materials of the geographical names of hutongs in Beijing when he was an official in Beijing. He also became the head of 端溪书院 (current 肇庆中学) and 广雅书院 (current 中山大学) in Guangdong later.

小仓～衕 and 寺～衕 mentioned in the evidence are at 安徽省阜阳市, but I can’t find any more materials on them. It looks this character is the misprint form of 衚.

Previously submitted by China for CJK_C1 as CYY01318. What was the evidence then? This character is also SJ/T 11239—2001 28-42 so it probably should be encoded as a variant of 衚.

Based on comment #10266, should this character be withdrawn?

This character should not be withdrawn. And I do suggest Eiso to read more books. It is really easy to find the following material:

Based on the modern edition of the same book, Andrew’s comment #10323 is right. This character could be accepted for the variant of 衚.

As the submitted evidence shows, 潁州 is (under) current 安徽省阜阳市. In the local dialect, 衚 reads as ꜁xu, and 古 reads as ꜂ku.
