This character is used in hundreds of placenames in Shanxi(山西),Shannxi(陕西),Guangdong(广东) Province. Please see the second evidence of this character ,it's just one page of the book 《山西省行政区划与自然村标准地名手册·雁北地区》but it contains 6 ⿰土窊. Considering all of them are written as ⿰土窊 and ⿰土窊 and U+3EDC6 are usually considered different characters by normal people, it is really bad to unify ⿰土窊 to (U+3EDC6).
It is a variant of 萼, non-congnate with 㠋 (U+380B). The evidence is clear enough and the book is compiled by government, so it should be encoeded. By the way, many unencoded characters are replaced by common characters in National Database for Geographical Names of China(中国·国家地名信息库) and county annals.
However, I checked 1:50000 topographic map (1972) of Liquan County, Shannxi Province, the name of the village is 山底村. So it should be used in another place name which I don't know.
For encoding, I think the evidence is enough.
I think IRG encode not only characters used or useful for one place, but also characters used in books which can be schoolars' references. The shape in the evidence is clear enough, what's more, 山 and 宀 can be written as each other when used on the head of a character, so the shape is reasonalbe. So I don't think it should be withdrawed. Rejecting this character will only lead to a later resubmition.

It is a print error. I will find another good evidence for the character and come back again.
The glyph is not very clear. According to the context and the evidences, it is hard to decide whether the vertical stroke should be out of the bottom bar or be out of the upper bar. So I suggest we pending this character for further investigation.
After discussing with some of my "transgender" friends, they all don't like to be described as ⿰㐅也. Some of them even think 㐅 indicates they are not persons and it comes out from some self moving people who are not belong to their group.

The shape is both clear and resonable.

For encoding, I think the evidence is enough.

This is definately a variant of U+3094E 𰥎. Should we unify them or encode them seperately?
It is a print error. I will find another good evidence for the character and come back again.
