What 縂 means
It maps to 縂, a Han character.
Chinese references give 縂 senses such as “gather” and “overall”; traditional-character variant records also link it to 總.
Why does 縂 change during normalization?
All four Unicode normalization forms map it to 縂. Unicode normalization standardizes text; here it removes the separate code point. The sequence 縂︀ (縂 followed by an invisible variation selector) can request its variant glyph when a font supports it. Taiwan's CNS character-set project grew from work to process Chinese text on computers; the Unicode supplement keeps entries from its numbered planes 3–7 and 15 available for round-trip conversion.

1Why does 縂 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
