What 瘐 means
To preserve a source code through conversion.
The Unicode chart maps 瘐 to 瘐 , labels its source position T6-4232 in Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 character-exchange standard, and preserves that position so text can convert there and back intact. The chart also lists 瘐︀ with variation selector UFE00, a mark that requests this variant glyph.
What did 瘐 mean before its prison use?
Its older sense is illness.
The Erya, an early Chinese dictionary, glosses the doubled form 瘐瘐 as ill. A Han-era chronicle uses 瘐 for a prisoner’s sickness, connecting that older sense to prison language.

Questions people ask
1Why does 瘐 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.
