What 竮 means
It is an encoding variant of the Chinese character 竮.
Medieval Chinese dictionaries record 竮 in 竛竮, a compound describing unsteady walking. Classical verse also uses 伶俜 for being alone. Those are whole-word meanings, not a separate meaning of 竮. Taiwan’s CNS 11643 is a character-encoding standard; this code point preserves a source distinction when text is converted between CNS 11643 and Unicode.
Why does 竮 become 竮?
Compatibility normalization maps it to 竮.
Compatibility normalization rewrites this character as 竮, so the original code point disappears from the normalized text. An early table mapped it to U7AAE; Unicode 4.0.0 corrected the target to 竮.
