I remember once reading about a Chinese character in Unicode that noone knew its meaning and purpose, and after some googling, I found **襨**. Aside from basic character databases like Wiktionary or Unihan, I wasn't able to find any sources about this character in English.

So, does this character have a meaning? How was this character introduced in Unicode? Are there other such "mysterious" characters?
