What 蝫 means
It is a compatibility form of 蝫.
Chinese dictionaries record 蝫 as an alternate form of 蠩 in 蜛蠩, an old creature name sometimes glossed as a toad.
Why keep a separate code?
It preserves a Taiwanese source entry.
CNS 11643 is Taiwan’s Chinese-character encoding standard; 蝫 is its Plane 7 entry T7-282E.
Unicode normalization turns it into 蝫, losing the separate code point.
Reserve 蝫 for text that must preserve the Taiwan source entry.

1Can normalization preserve 蝫?
Not as the same code point: normalization maps it to 蝫. The standardized sequence 蝫︀ (U876B followed by UFE00) requests the corresponding glyph; the invisible selector works when the font supports it.
