CJK Compatibility Ideograph-2F8A6

167/542

慈 is a Taiwanese CNS 11643 variant of 慈, meaning kindness or compassion. It preserves a recorded glyph distinction, not a separate everyday word; Unicode normalization folds it back to 慈.

Text symbol

What 慈 means

It preserves a Taiwan CNS 11643 form.

CNS 11643 expanded from two character tables to seven in 1992; its third table included rare characters and variants. Taiwan's CNS record traces this form to a variant-character list published in 2007 and identifies it as 3-4670. It reads cí (ㄘˊ), like 慈; the separate code preserves its recorded form for conversion.
