What 即 means
It is a compatibility form of 即. In Chinese, 即 can mean “immediately,” “namely,” or “that is,” depending on context. The source record places this form at position 2A23 in the sixth plane, or section, of Taiwan’s CNS 11643 character code for exchanging Chinese text. Unicode kept a separate code point so conversion to and from that code can round-trip.
