What 㠯 means

㠯 maps to 㠯, a historical form of 以.

Early forms of 以 appear in oracle-bone inscriptions—writing carved on animal bones and turtle shells used mainly for divination in the late Shang (about 1300–1050 BCE). One form shows a person lifting an object; 㠯 shows the object without the person. Bronze inscriptions also use 㠯 for “carry,” “use,” and “lead.” Later Chinese writing mostly used 以 instead.

CNS 11643-1992 is a Taiwanese standard that assigns codes to Chinese characters. Unicode includes this character in a supplement for converting text to that standard and back. It is a conversion form, not a spelling to substitute into ordinary modern Chinese.

All four normalization forms replace it with 㠯. The standardized sequence 㠯︀ (㠯 followed by U+FE00, Variation Selector-1) keeps the corresponding appearance through normalization, but it is not the original code point.
