Usage notes
Jiruhe notes that 𘬈⟨WHITE⟩ appears in line 21 of the Epitaph for Yelü Zhixian 耶律智先 (1094) in 𘮧𘭨𘬈 ⟨p.y.WHITE⟩, a variant spelling of female nobility title 𘮧𘭨𘱁𘮡 ⟨p.y.z.iú⟩ (Chinese 別胥 biéxū), implying that 𘬈 ⟨WHITE⟩ corresponds to 𘱁𘮡 ⟨z.iu⟩ ~ ⟨s.iu⟩. Wu (2022) proposes the reading [siu] or [su]. Its dotted form 𘬉 (number 005) likely has the same pronunciation.[1]
