What 眞 means
It means “true” or “real,” like 眞.
Its source entry is T7-263E in Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 Chinese character set. Unicode keeps it so text can move between that older encoding and Unicode without losing which character was present.
Unicode normalization maps 眞 to 眞, so the original code-point distinction disappears. In ordinary writing, use the form required by the language or source text; this code point exists to preserve legacy data.

Questions people ask
1Why does 眞 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.
