What 及 means
It preserves a variant of 及. A compatibility character keeps an older encoding’s form so conversion to Unicode and back retains it. Taiwan’s CNS 11643 places this form on a plane used for character variants.
Why does 及 become 及?
Normalization maps it to 及. Use 及︀ (及 followed by UFE00, an invisible variation selector) to preserve the source glyph through normalization. Your app and font must support the sequence.

1Will 及︀ display the variant everywhere?
No. If your app or font does not support the sequence, it ignores the selector and displays 及.
