The same video contains [this comment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mZBa3sqTrI&lc=Ugyr2FHKrW-pKv4hkqN4AaABAg) that I should've read earlier:

> 䐀 (U+4400): to dismember body of the livestock  
> 攀 (U+6500): to climb  
> 氀 (U+6C00): a category of textile and fabrics  
> 琀 (U+7400): gems/pearls/jade formerly put into the mouth of a corpse (note: this seems to be related to an ancient Chinese tradition/belief, that putting something, likely valuable, into the mouth of the corpse will lead the deceased to a better after life.)

The character that the presenter is probably referring to is 琀.
