What 𱒇 means

Why does Nom Na Tong use a private-use code for it?
Its older font record uses a font-specific private-use address.
The Unicode source list labels the character VN-F0864; its notes say VN entries can refer to original private-use codes in the open Nom Na Tong font. A private-use slot is a number assigned within one font or text system; other fonts may not map it to the same character. In new Unicode text, use the assigned character 𱒇.
