What 閷 means
It maps to 閷; the source passage decides which sense applies.
In classical Chinese craft passages in the Rites of Zhou, a classic with sections on crafts and public works, 閷 can name reducing an embankment's top, the join where a bow's horn meets its side support, or—written in place of 殺—killing or harming.
Why is 閷 encoded separately?
For round-trip conversion with Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 character set.
This code was kept so text could convert to that set and back without losing the character; Unicode maps this one to 閷.
Unicode 18.0 normalization maps compatibility ideographs to their unified counterparts. When software normalizes text, 閷 therefore becomes 閷.

1Why does 閷 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.
