I've seen that both 串 and 丳 are supposed to mean "skewer". Which one is more regularly used?
Are there other common use cases for 丳?

skewer 英 [ˈskju:ə(r)] 美 [ˈskjuɚ] n. 串肉杆; 烤肉叉子; 叉状物; 针状物;
丳 读音: [chǎn] 部首: 丨 五笔: KKJK 释义: 烤肉用的铁扦。
串 读音: [chuàn] 部首: 丨 五笔: KKHK 释义: [chuàn]1.多个同类东西连贯在一起
This is the first time to see "丳". It's clear that "丳" is more exact to the meaning of "skewer".
串 is the one Chinese speak and use everyday. And the other character is not used at all. Even as a Chinese ,I can't recognize the character in the first time. And this is the first time I see the character.therefore, 串(chuan) is the right answer. And I don't know how you get to know 丳, but in our daily life, we can't see this word.
