CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2F8BA

拼 is the legacy code form associated with 拼, the Mandarin character for joining separate pieces. It preserves an old character-set slot during conversion to Unicode; everyday Mandarin writing uses 拼.

Text symbol

What 拼 means

It maps to 拼; in Mandarin, 拼 means “join or assemble.” The Northern Song character guide Peixi glosses 拼 as “to follow”; the mid-18th-century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber uses it for risking one’s life. 拼圖 means “jigsaw puzzle”; 拼音 names the system for writing Mandarin sounds with the Latin alphabet. This codepoint preserves Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 entry T3-3628 during conversion in either direction. For everyday Mandarin, use 拼.

Will 拼 change to 拼 under NFKC?

Yes. NFKC and NFKD are text-normalization forms that fold compatibility characters together, so they turn 拼 into 拼. Software that must preserve the CNS slot needs to retain the original codepoint before normalization.
