What 󠇑 means
It only works in a registered pair. An ideographic variation sequence (IVS) puts it after a Han character—a Chinese-derived character used in Chinese and Japanese writing—to request a specific drawn form. The glyph choice depends on that base character; this is not a universal style or region switch.
Proposals date to 1997; a 2003 revision assigned supplementary selectors to ideograph variants so scholars, national standards bodies, and publishers could maintain distinct glyph collections. The IVD began registering Adobe-Japan1 pairs in 2007.
