What 僧 means
Unicode normalization maps it to 僧.
Unicode also defines a standardized variation sequence, U+50E7 U+FE01, for the source glyph: 僧 followed by an invisible selector that asks a compatible font to show that form. Normalization is software’s process for making equivalent text consistent.

1Why does 僧 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
