CJK Compatibility Ideograph-2F839

58/542

叫 is a Taiwan-source variant of 叫, the Chinese character for calling or naming. Read it as 叫 in ordinary text; keep its separate form for exact source data, because normalization can merge it.

Text symbol

What 叫 means

Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 character set records this variant as T6-225B for exact conversion. It maps to 叫 (Mandarin jiào), used to call out, summon, or name someone; the Classical Chinese poem 北山 (“North Mountain”) in the Classic of Poetry uses the call-out sense.

Unicode normalization can turn 叫 into 叫 and erase its separate code-point identity. To preserve 叫 in Unicode text, keep the original character or use its standardized variation sequence, a selector pair: 叫 followed by UFE00.

Technical and archival; it marks a source glyph, not a separate everyday word.

Normalization can merge it into 叫.

Why does 叫 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
