What 熜 means
熜 is the compatibility form Unicode maps to 熜. In Mandarin Chinese, 熜 is read cōng or zǒng; its dictionary senses include a torch tied from hemp stalks, a small flame or heat, and a chimney.
Unicode's chart gives its source as CNS 11643-1992 Plane 15, position TF-503D. Plane 15 was reserved for user-defined characters outside the standard repertoire; its entries included characters from Taiwan's computerized household-registration system, which needed extra characters for personal names.
The separate code lets text travel to Unicode and back without losing the original CNS code. For ordinary new Chinese text, use 熜.

Questions people ask
1Does normalization change 熜?
Yes. When software normalizes text into a standard form, it treats 熜 as equivalent to 熜 and can replace it with 熜. A registered sequence—熜 followed by variation selector UFE00—can preserve its glyph variant, but only when the font supports that sequence.
