犈 what does this kanji mean?

Answer 1

You might be confusing Chinese and Japanese Kanjis. Japanese shares some Kanjis with China (the word Kanji literally makes reference as "Chinese Character"), but there are still a large number of characters in Chinese that you will not find in Japanese. The reason for this is the difference in the alphabets, Japan's alphabet is syllabic with Kanjis used to prevent an overabundance of homophones (that would also have the same spelling), while China uses a symbolic alphabet where each character means a single word. In fact, you might be surprised to learn that the number of characters in Chinese far exceeds the number used in Japanese (47,035 characters are present in the Kangxi dictionary, while Japanese uses only ~1,006 of those). I looked up that character though and it appears to have the pronunciation "Quan".
