㳉 -《清》字的变形,清无主, 被认为是具有反清意识的象征。
(㳉 is a variant of 清 used without the “lord/master” component; it is regarded as an anti-Qing symbolic usage.)

海邑 = Hai county/region (Haiyi).
㳉考 ≈ 顯考 (“the late honored father”); the character 㳉 is a variant form replacing 清, used by some to signal anti-Qing sentiment. We retain the honorific sense “late honored.”
秀烈 = “virtuous and valiant” (praise epithet).
曾公 = Elder Zeng (surname Zeng; 公 as respectful “Elder/Master”).
