What 暑 means
It preserves a Japanese source form of 暑. In JIS X 0213:2000, it is entry J3-7543; the Shift_JIS-2004 mapping is EB62. Unicode includes this compatibility range so conversion to and from that Japanese repertoire can preserve its source form.
The Japanese character 暑 means heat, hot weather, or the hot season. A dictionary example dates to around 900, and later uses include the traditional summer period. That history belongs to 暑; 暑's documented trail is the Japanese repertoire mapping, not a separate ancient sign.
How do I preserve the exact JIS form?
Keep 暑 only when the exact encoded form matters. Use 暑 in ordinary Japanese writing; preserve 暑 for archival or compatibility data.
NFC, NFD, NFKC, and NFKD normalization rewrite 暑 as 暑. Check the complete storage and exchange path if the exact form must survive.
Technical and archival; it marks a Japanese source-form distinction, not a change in tone.
Use 暑 for ordinary Japanese; normalization can erase the distinction.

1Why does 暑 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.
