What 麻 means
It encodes the Han character 麻.
In Chinese and Japanese, 麻 can name hemp or flax; compounds also use it for numbness.
Why is 麻 encoded separately?
It preserves a Taiwanese source code.
Unicode lists T6-463E in CNS 11643-1992, plane six, the Ministry of Education’s first character-variant set; this lets records convert to Unicode and back without losing the source code.
