Could somebody help me identify these two characters?
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.

is 點 (point). It's just written in a special "font".
is 㬹.
In 康熙字典, it is
《集韻》《類篇》甾莖切,音爭。足跟筋也。 又《集韻》側杏切。義同。
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).
