What 󠅮 means
The selector number does not name a shape; the exact pair does. A variation selector is an invisible mark that follows the character whose drawn form (glyph) it may change. The supplementary range was added in Unicode 4.0 (2003) so plain text could preserve registered variants of Han characters—Chinese characters and related forms used in Japanese and some Korean texts.
Each pair determines a particular glyph choice. Separate IVD collections preserve historical or regional forms needed by scholars, governments and publishers.

1Why does 󠅮 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
