What 㰘 means
It is the compatibility form of the Han character 㰘.
The Han-era Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, defines 㰘 as a kind of tree. A later history of the Ming dynasty records it in an imperial prince’s name. Mandarin reads 㰘 yí; Cantonese dictionaries give zi4.
The dictionary analyzes its form as 木, the tree or wood element, plus 彞, which hints at pronunciation. Unicode includes 㰘 among characters kept for round-trip conversion with CNS 11643-1992, Taiwan’s Chinese-text standard.
Does 㰘 normalize to 㰘?
Yes. Unicode normalization replaces 㰘 with 㰘.
That replacement removes the original compatibility code point, which matters when software must preserve this exact interchange form. A font without this rare character may show a missing-character box instead.

Questions people ask
1Why does 㰘 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
