What 䀹 means
It is a compatibility form of 䀹, an older eye-related Han character.
The Kangxi Dictionary, a Chinese character dictionary completed in 1716, records 䀹. Older lexicons give senses such as blinking, closing the eye, and eyelash; the graph joins the eye component 目 with 夾 as a sound clue.
A Unicode standards proposal in 2007 distinguished 䀹 from a similar-looking eye character, 鿃; this source form belongs to 䀹.
Why does 䀹 turn into 䀹?
It preserves a legacy text-encoding entry through conversion.
Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 encoding assigns this source form to plane 6, position T6-4B7A. Unicode retained 䀹 so text converted between the two standards can round-trip without losing that entry.
Unicode normalization maps 䀹 to 䀹, so normalized text no longer retains the standalone code point.

Questions people ask
1Does the variation sequence keep 䀹 itself?
No. 䀹︁ is a standardized sequence that requests the compatibility glyph where supported, but it is not the standalone character 䀹. Keep 䀹 unnormalized when its exact character identity matters.
