What 䗗 means
It preserves 䗗, an old Chinese character with insect-name glosses.
The Song-era Guangyun, a Chinese dictionary arranged by pronunciation, glosses 䗗 as firefly. A later Qing-era entry in the Kangxi Dictionary also cites moth as a gloss.
Why does 䗗 turn into 䗗?
Normalization changes 䗗 to 䗗.
Normalization is a software step that standardizes text before storage or comparison. Unicode assigns 䗗 a canonical mapping, a standard replacement: 䗗. The normalized text keeps the same character but loses which encoded form the source used.
䗗 serves round-trip conversion with Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 character set: a document can move into Unicode and back without losing its original entry. Keep the original text before normalization if that exact form matters.

1Why does 䗗 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.
