What 𣎓 means
It is the CNS 11643-1992 source form of 𣎓.
Its source marker T4-4C56 identifies plane 4 of Taiwan’s CNS 11643 Chinese Standard Interchange Code. The 1992 standard expanded from two planes to seven; keeping this entry lets software convert CNS text into Unicode and back without losing this source distinction.
The underlying Han character 𣎓 appears in 《方言》, a Han-era dictionary of regional words, with the gloss “short”; later dictionaries also record a small-looking sense.
Why does normalization change it?
It can replace this compatibility form with 𣎓. Normalization is software’s way of rewriting equivalent Unicode text into one standard form. Unicode maps 𣎓 to 𣎓.
A registered sequence of 𣎓 followed by UFE00, an invisible variation selector, requests this source glyph form. Standardized variation sequences survive normalization; the software must support the sequence to display the requested variant.
This Han character is preserved for a legacy Taiwan character-set mapping.
Normalization can replace 𣎓 with 𣎓, erasing which source code point was used.

Questions people ask
1Why did 𣎓 turn into 𣎓?
Because Unicode normalization folds this compatibility form into its unified counterpart. To keep the source-specific glyph distinguishable, use the registered sequence 𣎓 followed by UFE00 in software that supports it.
