In the context of Wing Chun practice, perhaps the 踭 here refers to 手踭, the elbow rather than the heel as Wing Chun places greater emphasis on upper limb techniques? And 点 here does not necessarily mean "point" but "touch", "hit" Just guessing from what little I know of Wing Chun.

I think 㬹 is also more commonly seen written as 踭.

@Claw That's right. 踭 is included in 《新华字典》. But note that, 踭 is a new character that has appeared for less than about one hundred years. 康熙字典 has no entry for 踭 and I can't find it in any older script for it either.

<p>Could somebody help me identify these two characters?</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/4VXD9.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>The meaning of the first one should be "point" or something similar, the second one looks to me like a combination of 月 and 爭, but I couldn't find it anywhere.</p>

They are part of the five principles of Wing Chun that are hanging in our gym, I managed to find most of the characters but had troubles finding these two. You can se all of them [here](http://www.elywcimaa.com/wing-chun-kung-fu/index.php?id=35)

![點](https://i.sstatic.net/ipfNF.png) is [點](http://www.zdic.net/z/29/kx/9EDE.htm) (point). It's just written in a special "font".

![㬹](https://i.sstatic.net/e3un6.png) is [㬹](http://www.zdic.net/z/10/kx/3B39.htm).

In 康熙字典, it is

> ![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/LVQrG.gif) 《集韻》《類篇》甾莖切，音爭。足跟筋也。

Which means `足跟筋也`, i.e. tendon in the heel. It is pronounced as `zhēng`. Now it's seldom seen in Mandarin Chinese, but in spoken Cantonese, it's still widely and informally used (pronunciation `zaang1`). For example, `脚㬹`(heel), `高㬹鞋`(high-heeled shoes).
