What 跋 means
It is a source-preserving form of 跋. In Taiwan Mandarin, 跋 is bá and can mean a brief note at a book’s end.
Taiwan’s government database lists it as CNS 15-3F53 for household-registration use; its source note dates the entry to 2007.
Unicode added it in 2001 so text converted to and from the CNS 11643-1992 character standard could keep its source form.
Does normalization change 跋?
Yes; normalization maps it to 跋. Use the standardized sequence 跋 followed by UFE00 (Variation Selector-1) to preserve its glyph distinction; the app and font must support the sequence.
Use it when preserving a CNS source form or its glyph distinction matters.

1Why does 跋 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.
