As #15445/#15452 mentioned, ⿰虫肴 and ⿰虫⿱又有 are surely the variants, both of them are stablly used in dictionaries, that means both of them are valuable in historical usage process. So we don't need to unify the 正字 to the variant form while the variant one has been encoded in the previous, and should encode them separatly.
According to the additional evidences, this character should be viewed as a stable variant shape of 𤠼. There is no doubt for it to be encoded.
Although character analysis is required in coding work, overall, our task is not to provide textual research for linguists and only code for correct character shapes, but to provide code points for social character usage needs. If some glyphs have independent usage cases in the text or have value in distinguishing glyphs, they should be able to be encoded. Discussing these types of characters without reaching a consensus would waste a lot of meeting time in the past and future.
There is still only one piece of evidence with no actual usage to prove the variant has been used in practice. A single and indirect evidence in the dictionary cannot prove that the character's form is reasonable.
According to the pronunciation (Reading: yán), the right component should be 研, why dose the owner of this name or TCA insist to use an irregular form for encoding.
The new evidences does not prove that this glyph is a standalone character with independent pronunciation and interpretation, rather than a disassembled stroke. So what is the necessity to encode it again?
