What 󠆌 means
No. 157 names the selector, not a glyph style. A variation sequence pairs one written character with a selector; the registered pair identifies its glyph variant. The same selector may have unrelated effects with different characters. Japanese names and place names can use such pairs to preserve forms with the same reading and meaning.

Questions people ask
1Why does 󠆌 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Variation Selectors Supplement block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
