What 󠆥 means
It's a registered pair of a Han character and a selector. Han characters appear in Chinese, Japanese kanji, and Korean hanja. Only a registered pair after a specific ideograph has a defined effect; the selector's number doesn't name one universal glyph.
Plain text can specify a CJK glyph variant.
A Unicode proposal in August 2003 explored selectors for CJK ideograph variants in plain text. Adobe-Japan1 became the first IVD collection on December 14, 2007. Separate collections keep variant lists distinct for scholars, public agencies, and publishers.
What if the sequence isn't supported?
Without support for the pair, the selector is ignored. The base character keeps its usual glyph.

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.
