What 乁 means
It maps to 乁. Older Chinese dictionaries gloss 乁 as “flowing” or “moving”; variant records also list both 乁 and 乁 among forms of 及, whose senses include “reach,” “arrive,” and “and.”
Why does 乁 have its own code point?
Canonical normalization maps 乁 to 乁. Normalization gives equivalent character forms one standard representation; here, it replaces the stored code point.
Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 is a standard list of Chinese characters and computer codes; Unicode links this entry to plane 6. The compatibility supplement lets text convert to and back from that standard.

Questions people ask
1Why does 乁 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
