奢 encoding variant

96/542

奢 is a variant encoding of 奢 (shē), a Chinese character for extravagance or excess. It preserves an entry from Taiwan’s CNS 11643 character set, but Unicode normalization can map it back to 奢.

Text symbol

What 奢 means

It reads as 奢 (shē). In ordinary Chinese, the character can describe wasteful spending. The classical Chinese text Zixu Fu also uses it for exaggerated speech.

Why does 奢 have its own code?

To preserve a Taiwan CNS source form. CNS 11643-1992 is Taiwan’s character-encoding standard; plane 6 lists 奢 as T6-4756 among variant forms. This code preserves the source entry in conversion to Unicode and back; for ordinary new writing, use 奢.
