What 󠆀 means
VS145 is defined for registered ideographic variation sequences.
An ideographic variation sequence (IVS) pairs a CJK ideograph—a character used in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing—with a selector to request a particular drawn form. The selector’s number is not a universal style label; its effect depends on the ideograph it follows.
Why is VS145 invisible?
A variation selector has no ordinary visible form.
Unicode says unsupported or unregistered sequences display the base character as usual. So a string can contain VS145 without showing a mark.
