cjk compatibility ideograph-2f8cd

CJK compatibility ideograph 2F8CD

206/542

晉 is the compatibility code for 晉, not a separate word. Chinese 晉 can mean “advance” or name the Jin state and dynasties; modern Japanese writes 晋. This extra code lets Taiwan's CNS 11643 character set pass through Unicode and back with its original code intact.

Text symbol

What 晉 means

It is an encoding twin of 晉, not a separate word.

晉 appears in Shang bone inscriptions used for divination and Western Zhou bronze inscriptions; its early form is uncertain. Added in 2001, 晉 lets Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 encoding standard convert characters to Unicode and back without losing distinct codes from planes (numbered sections) 3–7 and 15.

Canonical normalization, Unicode's standard text-cleanup process, maps 晉 to 晉. Use 晉 in ordinary writing; keep 晉 only when the exact source code point must survive.

Why does 晉 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
