It's confusing!

There are plenty of "confusables" in CJK Unicode.  (As Andrew
and others on this list know very well.)

More examples:  㒨𠑗 / 㖈䎛
...and, with the meat/flesh vs. moon radicals (which often look
identical in some positions in some fonts) there are several,
㬵胶/㬶𦛩/㬺幐/㬻䐠/䏓朊/䏞𦚜/䑃朦/...

Any of these "confusables" might represent spoofing/phishing
opportunities.
