Compatibility form of 壷

92/542

壷 is a compatibility form of 壷 (“jar” or “pot”). It preserved a Taiwan CNS 11643 code through conversion to and from Unicode; normalization can fold it into 壷.

Text symbol

What 壷 means

It identifies the same jar character, 壷.

Taiwan’s CNS 11643 standard exchanges Chinese text. Its expansion to seven planes in 1992 included the Plane 6 form linked to 壷. A separate Unicode code point let text convert to Unicode and back without losing its CNS code.

In Unicode 17.0 (2025), Taiwan reassigned that Plane 6 glyph to 𡔳 ; 壷 still maps canonically to 壷 .
