What 醙 means
Yes, under compatibility normalization.
醙 and 醙 are separate characters, but FAC4's compatibility mapping points to 醙, so compatibility normalization can merge them. JIS X 0213:2000, a Japanese standard for representing computer text that expanded the earlier JIS X 0208 character set, included FAC4. Unicode retained the form so text converted from that older standard and back could keep its original distinction.
Technical and archival: it preserves a legacy Japanese text-encoding distinction during round trips.
Compatibility normalization can turn 醙 into 醙 and erase which form was stored.
