What 𤠔 means
It is a historical written form of 猿, “ape.”
The Kangxi Dictionary’s 1716 entry cites 字彙, an earlier Chinese character dictionary: 𤠔 is a nonstandard form of 猿, described as an ape with long arms that climbs trees.
Why does Unicode normalize 𤠔 to 𤠔?
Normalization maps it to 𤠔.
Unicode 18.0 records Taiwan source T6-4B42 under 𪻅; the canonical mapping remains 𤠔. Normalizing text can erase the distinct code point when exact source provenance matters.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𤠔 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.

𤠔\2F927Why is 𤠔 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
