What 𠠄 means
It maps to 𠠄, a Han character meaning “to pierce.” Mandarin reads 𠠄 as zhào. Jiyun, a Song-era Chinese book that groups characters by sound, records the same gloss. The lexical meaning belongs to 𠠄; 𠠄 is its compatibility form.
Why is there a 𠠄 and a 𠠄?
It keeps a Taiwan CNS 11643-1992 code intact in conversion. CNS 11643-1992 is Taiwan's national character-encoding standard. Its plane 7 slot T7-3373 maps to 𠠄; Unicode retains the form so conversion out of and back into that character set preserves the source code. Unicode normalization can turn 𠠄 into 𠠄, erasing which code point appeared in the input. For ordinary new text, use 𠠄; preserve 𠠄 only when the source encoding or data requires it.

1Why does 𠠄 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.
