So, My first result is 時 in this result show me another form for this kanji
that is 刻 【とき】

and the others results show me others meanings like 刻【こく】: archaic age , 刻
【きざ】: scratch, etc

question
meaning translation words creative-furigana
刻 means "time"?
To put it accurately, 刻【こく】 is the ancient unit of time, compared to _hour_
before 24-hour system is introduced, and still remains in some words such as
時刻, 刻々, 刻限 etc.

For that reason, this kanji is sometimes employed in artistic writing when it
explicitly refers to a "punctual" time rather than a "duration" time.

As for the practice putting unusual { kanji to word / reading to kanji }, see
