Review Comments
Potential unification to 萈 (U+8408) or 莧 (U+83A7) based on comment #7764 (which seems to be marked as Data for Unihan instead of Unification in error).
Referring to the description of 隸經雜著甲編(卷6) "釋莞", the characters "莞 (U+839E)", "萈 (U+8408)", and "莧 (U+83A7)" were interchangeable in the past. And 隸經雜著甲編 mentioned that 一切經音義 was written as “夫子萈爾而笑”. Therefore, the proposed character is highly likely originated from "萈 (U+8408)".
- The right bottom part 厶 is so strikingly different from 丶 in 楷書 that suggests structural difference
- It is used in a cite from 蒼頡篇, which might be related to its original shape
- The glyph is very unique that we couldn't find similar ones even in 異體字字典. Given it consists of elemental components of 見 and 厶 while the glyph is rare, few would be expected to look up this glyph using 萈; unifying with 萈 rather impedes searchers' usability.
As far as we know, the SAT database contain no other 萈 occurrences and all 莧 seem to be the name of a vegetable (xiàn).
