What 𮵦 means
It preserves rare characters in official name records. China’s Ministry of Education said in 2019 that public-security systems needed a special font so rare characters in names would work on household registrations and resident ID cards. Unicode lists 𮵦 in the Ministry of Public Security’s 2023 ID set. In August 2023, Unicode announced 622 urgently needed characters from this effort, which China’s GB 18030 standard for exchanging Chinese text also mapped.
