What 󠇚 means
It requests a glyph form only as part of a registered pair.
A glyph is a character’s drawn form. The Han character comes first; the selector follows it, and the registered pair identifies a specific form without changing the character itself.
Why is VS235 invisible?
It has no visible shape of its own. For an unregistered or unsupported pair, the base character displays as usual and the selector stays invisible. Text may contain VS235 even when its appearance gives no clue.

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.
