What 󠆏 means
It can request a registered glyph form after a Han character.
Han characters are used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other writing systems. The base character comes first, followed by this selector; together they form an ideographic variation sequence (IVS). Only registered pairs identify an agreed glyph variation. In Japanese, different written forms of 葛 or 辻 can distinguish a place or a person's name, even when the encoding treats them as the same character.

Questions people ask
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.
