Definition of 「㪵」: 1. In ancient times, it referred to half of a unit of capacity used for measuring items. - 古代指量物取其容量单位的一半。 - In ancient times, it referred to half of a unit of capacity used for measuring items. "According to the Shuowen, under the section on Dou: '㪵 is to divide the measurement of objects in half.' According to Sun Yirang's "Zhou Yan Shu Lin," Volume 10: '㪵, under the section on Dou: "to measure objects in half."... it is meant as half the quantity; the larger units like Sheng, Dou, and Hu are collectively termed. Wang (Shao) mentions half a Sheng; the Guangyun states five Sheng, which equals half a Dou; Meng (Kang) claims five Dou, which is equivalent to half a Hu; in the Jiyun, fifty Sheng correlates with Meng's five Dou, clearly indicating agreement among the three definitions.'”
