·    This glyph can be read as SUUTZ’, tz’i, or xu.

·    TOK glosses it as SUUTZ'/tz'i/xu? and has TOK.p2.para2.l-4: The sign that looks like a head of a bat, for instance, has two confirmed readings in distinct contexts: a logogram SUUTZ' "bat" and a syllabogram tz'i. The third reading - a syllabogram xu - is plausible, but less well-proven. The corresponding catalog entry will show all these readings underneath the character.
