What 歔 means
In Chinese, 歔 means to sigh or breathe out.
Taiwan’s CNS 11643 became a national character code in 1986 and expanded in 1992. Unicode includes 歔 for conversion to and from the 1992 edition without losing the source form.
Is 歔 the same character as 歔?
It maps to 歔, but keeps a source-specific form.
Text normalization is an automatic cleanup that makes equivalent character strings use one form. Here it converts 歔 to 歔, so the recorded distinction disappears.
The standardized sequence 歔︀ adds an invisible variation selector to 歔; in fonts that support it, the sequence preserves this glyph form through normalization.
Technical and archival: use this form when a source record or conversion standard requires it.
Unicode normalization changes it to 歔 and loses the recorded form.

Questions people ask
1Why does 歔 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.
