What 劳 means
It encodes 劳, the Chinese character for work or toil. In Chinese, 劳 is the simplified form related to traditional 勞; this code adds no separate conversational meaning.
Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 character standard had a duplicate entry that needed to survive conversion into Unicode, the modern cross-language text standard, and back again. Text normalization turns 劳 into 劳, erasing the separate code for the older entry.

Questions people ask
1Why does 劳 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.
