What 𤘈 means
It preserves a Taiwan CNS 11643 character entry.
CNS 11643 encodes Chinese text. Its 1992 edition expanded beyond two character planes (large sections of a coded set); this Unicode supplement maps entries from planes 3–7 and 15 so conversions can recover the original entry.
Why does normalization turn 𤘈 into 𤘈?
Normalization maps 𤘈 to 𤘈.
Unicode's canonical mapping points from 𤘈 to U24608 𤘈, its unified Han counterpart; normalization can replace the compatibility code point with that character.
To retain the variant, Unicode defines 𤘈 plus variation selector UFE00. This invisible marker requests a glyph form, and the standardized sequence survives normalization.
A technical encoding form for text interchange.
Normalization can erase its distinction; retain the standardized sequence when it matters.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𤘈 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.
