What 博 means
It preserves a CNS source code through conversion. Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 places it at source position T6-4674, and Unicode maps it to 博. That extra code point lets converted text return to its source code without losing the distinction.
The mapping is canonical: Unicode treats 博 and 博 as equivalent forms of the same abstract character. In NFC, a Unicode text-normalization form, 博 becomes 博. If a workflow needs T6-4674 to survive, it must preserve this distinct code point instead of applying NFC.
Neutral and technical: it marks a character-encoding distinction, not a separate everyday word.
NFC normalization changes 博 to 博, erasing the distinct source code point.

Questions people ask
1Why does 博 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.
