What 侮 means
The earliest documented entry for this exact form is in Japan’s JIS X 0213 standard, published in 2000, at position 3-2E38. Unicode includes it so text can be converted to and from that standard without losing the form. This dates the recorded encoding, not the origin of 侮 itself.
侮 and 侮 carry the same meaning: to insult or treat someone with contempt. Its separate Unicode code point—a distinct character number—preserves the JIS form; it adds no other meaning.
Technical and archival: it marks fidelity to a source character form, not a change in tone.

Questions people ask
1Why can 侮 turn into 侮?
Unicode normalization, a text-cleanup step, can rewrite 侮 as 侮, its standard counterpart. That loses the exact JIS-specific character value.
