What 鉶 means
It is a source form of 鉶, a ritual vessel character.
鉶 names a vessel used for sacrificial food, especially soup; the word later also referred to the soup served in it.
The Chinese character dictionary 說文解字 was presented in 121 CE and defines 鉶. That dates the dictionary's account of the underlying character, not this source-specific code point.
Why does 鉶 become 鉶?
Normalization can replace 鉶 with 鉶.
Unicode maps FAC5 to 鉶. The sequence 鉶︀ adds the variation selector UFE00, an invisible marker that requests the source-specific written form where supported.
Unicode's North Korean source label KP1-80CE links FAC5 to KPS 10721-2000. It records a modern character-set source for this encoded form, not the origin date of the much older character.
