This article appears to have been created by someone who doesn't understand Vietnamese chữ Nôm very well. The article creator seems to assume that a character given the "temporary codepoint" of V+6341E as used by the Nom Foundation with the reading of mươi is equivalent to 𪜚 even though the Unihan Database entry on U+2A71A gives no Vietnamese reading information at all. Also, the article creator had an incorrect IDS (character component notation) entry of "⿰氵⿹乚忄攵" while the correct notation is actually "⿲氵枚乙" (per CHISE Project's IDS-UCS-Ext-C.txt document). It seems like a case of amateur sinology (vietnology?) to me. Note that this article was not part of the original NanshuBot database dumps and is part of Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C.

- Okay, after re-examining things, it looks like the original IDS notation wasn't too far off; I've changed it to "⿰氵⿹乙枚" (per GlyphWiki's entry) and have one "weak" source matching it to the mươi reading (a certain "nom_qn.txt" document). Still can't fully verify it as a numeral but "mươi" does mean "ten" (multiplier word) in modern Vietnamese. I think it's now good enough to at least keep around (for now) but the lack of good sources on this kind of material is a bit frustrating. Bumm13 (talk) 06:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

- Thanks for the research, Bumm13. Kauffner was right about V+6341e mapping to U+2A71A, but mươi in this case doesn't seem to mean ten: the Nôm Lookup Tool gives "mươi, như 'mươi (sương giá)'". Sương giá means frost. So I wonder if this is a literary or archaic term that dictionaries don't tend to give as the meaning of mươi. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 10:01, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
