<p>I'm a relative beginner in Chinese. I was trying to draw the character 乔, but missed one stroke and instead got 夰. I was trying to find the meaning of this character before I realised my mistake. I was surprised how little information there is about this character. Several dictionaries don't even contain this character, and Pleco tells me that the pinyin for this character is gao3 but does not give any definition. It is in the basic block of CJK unified ideographs (5930), and appears in the Kangxi dictionary. Are there lots of these characters which have no definition given in English and how would they be used? What does or did this character mean?</p>

You could just ignore it since it is rarely used.

Don't bother finding the meaning of that character. I'm a native Chinese but never saw this wierd character before. I assure 99.99 percent Chinese dont know neither(At least in mainland China).
