What 謹 means
It means 謹: careful, restrained, or respectfully formal.
謹 is not a separate word created for Unicode. The unified character 謹 appears in the Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary compiled ca. 100 CE; that record shows the character was established by then, not when it was first written.
This code point preserves source code KP1-76FD from KPS 10721-2000, a Korean character set. Its role is faithful conversion of that source entry, not a distinct meaning. Use 謹 in ordinary prose; keep 謹 when the source distinction matters.
Someone sent me 謹—what should I read?
Read it as 謹 unless the message is showing source data.
In text using Han characters, the underlying sense is the established one: care, restraint, or respect. The compatibility form adds no internet tone or extra politeness.
In an exported record or font test, the unusual form can identify its source encoding. In an ordinary message, do not read extra sentiment into it.
Technical and archival. The raw form marks a source-encoding distinction, not a more polite version of 謹.
For ordinary text, use 謹; normalization can erase the source distinction.

2Why does 謹 turn into 謹?
It is normalization: the compatibility form becomes its unified equivalent, 謹, and the original code-point distinction is lost. To request the defined variant glyph, append UFE01, an invisible variation selector; display depends on font and software support.
Why does 謹 look different in another font?
It is a font-support issue. Fonts can draw the compatibility form differently or use a fallback glyph if they lack it.
