The title of this poem in the evidence is 《古意三首》. When we read this poem carefully, it's not hard to find out there are three parts based on the rhyme characters. The first part is 甕(옹)宋(송)洞(동)夢(몽), the second part is 隙(극)白(백)藥(약)獨(독) and the third part is 先(선)賢(현)全(전)年(년). The submitted character is in the second part. Notice that the real rhymes (vowels and the following consonants in the syllables) are different in Old Chinese, Middle Chinese (that means 平水韻 here) and Korean readings, maybe we should call it as 押鄰韻 (rhyme adjacently?). The previous verse “胡爲勞形役” is an interrogative question, so the verse with the submitted character should be the reply to the previous verse. This verse looks related to “哿矣富人，哀此惸獨。” in 《詩經·小雅·正月》. However, if we treated this character is the same as 哿 totally, the meaning is contrary to Confucian ideas and the spiritual style of this poem.
My suggestion to keep and encode this character as-is.
Support Lee's Comment #3915. The evidence shows the left part is the variant of 番 without any doubt. 𫿓 (U+2BFD3) itself is the variant of 播, but it shares the same rationale (same semantic element and same phonetic element).
UCV
It's better to add the followings as UCVs if they share the same rationale (same semantic element and same phonetic element).
(1)
e.g.
U+227F7 𢟷 vs U+61A3 憣
U+240F3 𤃳 vs U+2412B 𤄫
U+2839A 𨎚 vs U+8F53 轓
U+2E0EA 𮃪 vs U+2588C 𥢌
After checking the component ⿷匚晏 or ⿷匸晏, there are U+2037E 𠍾 and U+236BC 𣚼. It’s easy to know U+2037E 𠍾 is the variant of U+5043 偃 and U+236BC 𣚼 is the variant of U+693B 椻. However, the quantities of the components are different. It’s not better to add this UCV between 匽 and ⿷匚晏 or ⿷匸晏.
The G-Source reference shows 𡆶 U+211B6 is cited from the Kangxi Dictionary, which is the variant of 模. I checked other evidence, and I found it's the variant of 模 but only used in the variant form 𡆶𣔶 of the common Chinese word 模范.
As the new evidence in #5305, UK-20544 can't be identified as 模, and the new evidence in #5277 has shown it's the variant of 息 in Taoist text. Therefore, it's not better to unify it with 𡆶 U+211B6.
Add the second radical as 181 頁, and the second SC=11, the second FS=3.
The third piece of evidence shows it’s the definition of 鮉. Compared with different ancient dictionaries, it’s easy to know it’s also the variant of 鯛, so it’s OK to keep the current RS as the first RS.
As Mr. Huang mentioned in #934, it’s the variant of 顦 based on the 1st, 6th, 7th and 8th pieces of evidence. It’s better to add the second RS.
The fourth piece of evidence shows it’s the 反切上字 of 嶼. We can get 徐吕切 (唐韻), 象吕切 (集韻 etc.), 私吕切 (正字通) and 辭旅反 (篆隸萬象名義) as the fanqie of 嶼. The middle Chinese initials of 徐, 象 and 辭 are 邪, the one of 私 is 心. As we know, the current Putonghua pronunciation of 嶼/屿 (yǔ) does not match the middle Chinese. In the old Mandarin pronunciation, 嶼/屿 reads as xù, and the Cantonese pronunciation is zeoi6, which both match. 徐吕切, 象吕切, 辭旅反 all mean the same reading, 私吕切 means the other reading. As we know, 私吕切 (aka 胥上聲) is not a good fanqie for this character. The initial of 顦 is 從, the ones of 鯛 and 鮉 are 端, which do not match. It’s better to trust it is a character which the initial is 邪 and not the variant of 顦, 鯛, 鮉, 徐, 象, 辭, 私 in this evidence.
The second evidence is not complete, but it’s easy to get the sentence is cited from 爾雅, and it is the variant of 鮪. So, it is OK to keep the current RS in this case.
The fifth evidence does not match the glyph and not complete, please ignore it.
The left component is 孑, not a 孑-like component for 子.
IDS
At least, this case is different from U+273C4 𧏄. The Kangxi Dictionary shows the left part is the real 子. So, it’s OK to use 子 as the left component in the IDS.
For U+2EB2A 𮬪, the current source reference is cited from 大正藏, I can’t understand the contextual meaning. Maybe SAT knows if the left component is 子. I also find out U+2EB2A is used as a place name character in 广东德庆, which is near to Xijiang River (西江), but it’s a pity that I don’t know the meaning as well.
According to the pronunciation provided by TCA, jié means the phonetic element should be 孑 not 子, so I still think ⿰孑阝 will be better. If TCA hopes to keep ⿰子阝, maybe we should use two IDSes for this case.
For U+89C0 觀, the semantic element is 見, so the it’s the best to use 見 as the radical. However, the reading for 04292 provided by TCA is ān that means 安, the right part is the phonetic element. It’s better to keep the current RS without any change for the second radical.
All 廣 components (with 黃 or 黄) should be counted as 15 in IRG WS to KX. The real glyph shapes and the regional conventions are not important for the stroke counts. The SC and TS should be kept as the submitted ones.
It's better to keep the current IDS because of the rationale, which the semantic element is 絲 and the phonetic element is 貝.
If the we use ⿰糹𦁀 as the IDS, it will make the people think the semantic element is 糹(糸), the phonetic element is 𦁀, and the shape of the middle element should be near to 糹 not current 糸.
There is something different for this character from other V-Source Nom characters. For 六書 system, this character should be 會意 not 形聲. The meaning of this character is elephant's tusk, and elephant=象, tusk=牙. I think it's OK to add Prof. NG's comment for RS as the second RS.
The submitted evidence is a character list, but it's not used by the movable types. This has been confirmed by the typography history scholar Prof. Sun Mingyuan who is from Macao Polytechnic Institute.
ROK said "KR will add a new KR Norm rule regarding the middle component" in #2716, but maybe it is better to normalize the whole inside component (⿰扌⿱𠂉子) to 斿, not normalize 扌 to 方.
The new pieces of evidence provided by Tao Yang are all related to the Jianzi Musical Notation. We don’t have consensus to handle the fingering letters of the Jianzi Musical Notation.
The original evidence shows it’s a person name character used in Changhua County (彰化縣).
I suggest not use the evidence related to the Jianzi Musical Notation at this stage. Note that the Hanzi/Kanji/Hanza texts in the Guqin books should be acceptable.
As what I wrote in #122, this character is also used for the common Malaysian Chinese (马来西亚华语) word “tongkang”, which means a type of boat in Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysia NB once submitted this character in IRGN1418. Please see the following picture.
The second column makes the component wrong and the third column shows that the origin form (本字) is 舯, which I don’t agree. In fact, ⿰舟冬舡 is a real Malaysian transliteration based on the Chinese Min Nan dialect used in Southeast Asia. This word is written as 舯舡 in Singapore, and these two characters are not related to the original meaning of 舯 and 舡 in Chinese. The initial (聲母) of 中 is 知 in the middle Chinese, and its initials are t- in almost all Chinese Min dialects.
This character and the form of this word has been accepted by Chinese Language Standardisation Council of Malaysia (马来西亚华语规范理事会, 语范), so I think it’s better to accept it like some characters submitted by Macao SARG.
▲ 段甜: 《韩国固有汉字分析》, 洛阳: 中国人民解放军外国语学院(Luoyang: PLA University of Foreign Language), 2007, P. 31
The new evidence this Korean character is used in 儒胥必知 (유서필지), but I don't have this book. If Korean experts can help UTC check the original source, it will be better.
The subtitle in the evidence shows ⿰金⿱一帀 as below.
According to the book name, ⿰金⿱一帀 should be a chemical element used character, so it is U+9230 鈰. Therefore, 市 was written as ⿱一帀. It is better to normalize as GXM-00388 form to follow the PRC conventions.
Currently, there is V1-4C51 as the V-Source reference under 内 U+5185, but there is no V-Source for 內 U+5167. 内 U+5185 and 內 U+5167 is unifiable when they are used as the components
Almost all these components used for V-Source are all 内 U+5185.

U+2A9FF 𪧿 V4-463E
U+2B929 𫤩 V4-4164
There is only one case which used the 內 U+5167.
U+225C9 𢗉 V2-7552
It’s better to accept this normalization to make the V glyphs consistent.
Maybe we should consider to modify the V2-7552 glyph for U+225C9 in future.
The second evidence shows the fanqie is 直賃切. 𮬮 (U+2EB2E) is the variant of 鴆 (U+9D06) without any doubt. Kangxi Dictionary shows the fanqie of 鴆 (U+9D06) is 直禁切 (note that other fanqies are not related to this topic). The finals (韻母) of 賃禁 are both 侵B and the tone are both 去聲 here. So the pronunciations between this character and 𮬮 (U+2EB2E) are the same.
The following is the comment on the Early Chinese chemical characters from the Script Ad Hoc group in L2/22-023, which is also the recommendation for section 3 of my feedback on IRGN2492.

This character could be also used for 許應鑅's name. 許應鑅 is 許應騤's brother, and 許應騤 is 許廣平's grandfather and the Hong Kong actor 許紹雄's (Hui Siu Hung) great-grandfather. The former residence of 許 family is at 高第街 in Yuexiu, Guangzhou, and this family is famous and important for Guangzhou local historiography. 許應鑅 was called 許青天 in Qing Dynasty. If this character could be encoded, the Yuexiu District government can update the cultural relics protection information in future.
The current evidence shows this character means "hunchbacked" and "bent". This word is also common in my hometown dialect (Zhanjiang sub-dialect of the Chinese Yue-dialects). The most common form is [kʰɐu⁴⁴⁵ iu⁴⁴⁵] which [iu⁴⁴⁵] is 腰 (waist) in this word, and [kʰɐu⁴⁴⁵] itself could also used as "hunchbacked" but there is no the meaning of "bent" now. Some of Zhanjiang sub-dialect native speakers write this word as 佝 because the meaning of the common Chinese word 佝偻 is similar to [kʰɐu⁴⁴⁵ iu⁴⁴⁵] here. Note that the aspirated consonants don't exit in the standard Zhuang and so many Zhuang dialects.
The source reference for U+28233 𨈳 is GHZ-63809.21. 《汉语大字典》 shows the meaning is lost or unknown, and the authors collected this word from the following book.
▲ 陸佃：《鶡冠子》，守約篇本，卷下，天權第十七
On the other hand, U+28233 𨈳 is used for Chengdu sub-dialect of the Chinese Southwestern Mandarin-dialects, but the meaning is totally different.

Therefore, there is no evidence to prove they are variant now.

The evidence shows the book name is 《廣疋》 (aka 廣雅).
BTW, 鄧爾雅 wrote his name as 疋 not 雅 in his Chinese calligraphy works.
unify to 𫿓 (U+2BFD3)
Support Lee's Comment #3915. The evidence shows the left part is the variant of 番 without any doubt. 𫿓 (U+2BFD3) itself is the variant of 播, but it shares the same rationale (same semantic element and same phonetic element).

Unify to 𩂨 (U+290A8)?
The pronunciation of 𩂨 is sè (色責切), too.
UCV #424
As the new evidence in #5305, UK-20544 can't be identified as 模, and the new evidence in #5277 has shown it's the variant of 息 in Taoist text. Therefore, it's not better to unify it with 𡆶 U+211B6.
𠦬 (U+209AC) is the variant of 乖, reads as gwȧi based on the Romanization system in this dictionary.
Attributes
The evidence shows it's the name of a kind of fish.
I support Henry's comment.
The third piece of evidence shows it’s the definition of 鮉. Compared with different ancient dictionaries, it’s easy to know it’s also the variant of 鯛, so it’s OK to keep the current RS as the first RS.
As Mr. Huang mentioned in #934, it’s the variant of 顦 based on the 1st, 6th, 7th and 8th pieces of evidence. It’s better to add the second RS.
The fourth piece of evidence shows it’s the 反切上字 of 嶼. We can get 徐吕切 (唐韻), 象吕切 (集韻 etc.), 私吕切 (正字通) and 辭旅反 (篆隸萬象名義) as the fanqie of 嶼. The middle Chinese initials of 徐, 象 and 辭 are 邪, the one of 私 is 心. As we know, the current Putonghua pronunciation of 嶼/屿 (yǔ) does not match the middle Chinese. In the old Mandarin pronunciation, 嶼/屿 reads as xù, and the Cantonese pronunciation is zeoi6, which both match. 徐吕切, 象吕切, 辭旅反 all mean the same reading, 私吕切 means the other reading. As we know, 私吕切 (aka 胥上聲) is not a good fanqie for this character. The initial of 顦 is 從, the ones of 鯛 and 鮉 are 端, which do not match. It’s better to trust it is a character which the initial is 邪 and not the variant of 顦, 鯛, 鮉, 徐, 象, 辭, 私 in this evidence.
The second evidence is not complete, but it’s easy to get the sentence is cited from 爾雅, and it is the variant of 鮪. So, it is OK to keep the current RS in this case.
The fifth evidence does not match the glyph and not complete, please ignore it.

品 is the phonetic element.
See #1083 by Yi Bai.
The semantic element is 面, which is also more intuitive, and the phonetic element is 來.
The evidence shows this character "從肉" clearly.
The left component is 孑, not a 孑-like component for 子.
For U+2EB2A 𮬪, the current source reference is cited from 大正藏, I can’t understand the contextual meaning. Maybe SAT knows if the left component is 子. I also find out U+2EB2A is used as a place name character in 广东德庆, which is near to Xijiang River (西江), but it’s a pity that I don’t know the meaning as well.
According to the pronunciation provided by TCA, jié means the phonetic element should be 孑 not 子, so I still think ⿰孑阝 will be better. If TCA hopes to keep ⿰子阝, maybe we should use two IDSes for this case.
I support Mr. NG in this case.
IRGN954AR and IRGN2171 have not included 飠 and 𩙿 yet.
If the we use ⿰糹𦁀 as the IDS, it will make the people think the semantic element is 糹(糸), the phonetic element is 𦁀, and the shape of the middle element should be near to 糹 not current 糸.
鼎 was counted as 13 in KX.
Evidence
The evidence for the unencoded traditional form is shown as below.
▲ 莊綽：《雞肋編》，四庫全書本，卷下
Therefore, this character is acceptable to encode.
▲ 《字課圖説》，光緒三十年澄衷蒙學堂石印本，卷三
If the current evidence is not suitable for encoding, it’s better to withdraw this character by China. The unification is not a good method.
▲ 《説文解字》（陳昌治本）
▲ 《説文解字》（平津館叢書本）
However, in THX and other version, the glyph is different, which looks like ⿱㱿犬.
▲ 《説文解字》（藤花榭本）
In DYC version, ⿱㱿犬 and ⿱殸犬 are both used in the text, and Duan Yucai said they are variants, but ⿱㱿犬 is the regular form.
▲ 《説文解字注》
⿱殸犬 is a necessary variant in 説文 research, and ⿱㱿犬 could be unified to U+3E89 㺉.

The second column makes the component wrong and the third column shows that the origin form (本字) is 舯, which I don’t agree. In fact, ⿰舟冬舡 is a real Malaysian transliteration based on the Chinese Min Nan dialect used in Southeast Asia. This word is written as 舯舡 in Singapore, and these two characters are not related to the original meaning of 舯 and 舡 in Chinese.
