Just a note that, it is very similar but totally different to 䲧 (U+4CA7). The difference is 士 and 土. Maybe we could record this pair in Unihan Database? In order to remind the font designers not to confuse users.
Comment on #12948:
As far as I know about Kagoshima dialect, unlike most of the dialects in Japan, words can END in plosives. In the evidence, it writes the pronunciation of 髙 as タッ, which is actually resulted in the loss of some information - Kagoshima dialect pronounce it as /tak/ (FYI, standard Japanese is /taka/), different to so-called 促音 in Japanese, the /k/ sound would NEVER change according to the subsequent consonant. It is just a *coincidence* that the next consonant in this place name is also /k/.
The evidence also shows that the proposed character is pronounced as クッ, but we do not know whether it is /kuk/, /kut/, /kus/ or any other possibilities. It would be better if we could get more information about the complete pronunciation, to judge what its semantic really is.
