What 碌 means
碌 is a compatibility ideograph: a separate Unicode character retained so conversion can preserve a source character's original code position. Unicode maps it to U788C 碌 and records source position T6-556B in CNS 11643-1992, a Chinese character-encoding standard from Taiwan. For ordinary writing, use 碌 unless exact conversion back to that source position matters.
Will normalization change it?
Yes; it maps to 碌.
Unicode also specifies the variant sequence 碌︁: 碌 followed by invisible variation selector UFE01. The selector requests the standardized variant form, preserving that distinction through normalization.

Questions people ask
1Why does 碌 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.
