What 絛 means
A legacy form of 絛, meaning silk braid, cord, or sash.
The word 絛 names a braided silk cord or sash, including silk trim used on clothing. Classical Chinese lexicographic records give this material sense; Japanese reference works preserve the same cord-and-sash meaning.
The historical meaning belongs to 絛; 絛 preserves an encoding distinction for that character.
Why does 絛 normalize to 絛?
Normalization maps 絛 to its unified counterpart, 絛.
The Unicode chart associates FAAF with KP1-66BA in the North Korean KPS 10721-2000 character set. A separate code point lets software convert to Unicode and back while retaining that source-set distinction.
If exact source identity matters, check or store the code point before normalization; afterwards the text may contain 絛 instead. For ordinary text, use 絛.
Technical and archival: 絛 preserves a legacy character-set entry.
Normalization may erase the FAAF-versus-絛 distinction; check the code point first.

1Can normalization change an exact-character check?
Yes. Normalization can replace FAAF with 絛, so compare the original code point before normalizing when the source-form distinction matters.
