What 馧 means
It is the compatibility form of 馧, meaning “fragrance” or “strong fragrance.”
The Chinese dictionary Yupian (玉篇), compiled around 543, glosses 馧 as “fragrance at its fullest.” Guangyun (廣韻), a dictionary organized by pronunciation and rhyme, records 馧馞 for strong fragrance.
Why can 馧 change to 馧?
Unicode normalization turns 馧 into 馧.
That loses CNS 4-5E60, the Taiwan CNS 11643-1992 code point kept for round-trip conversion.
A standardized sequence—馧 followed by UFE00, an invisible form selector—preserves the distinction through normalization.

Questions people ask
1Why does 馧 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
