What 朡 means
It maps to 朡, but an old Taiwan source was separate.
Unicode’s compatibility supplement lets older character sets convert text back and forth without losing their entries. Taiwan’s CNS 11643 is a national code set for Chinese text. Its old entry T5-3F66 is separately encoded as 䶽 (U+4DBD); Unicode’s Han-character group records that separation as complete as of 2026-09-16.
Why does 朡 turn into 朡?
Normalization may replace it with 朡.
Normalization standardizes equivalent text, so it can erase which code point was stored. The standardized sequence 朡︀ (U+6721 U+FE00) preserves the variant glyph through normalization, but not the separate Taiwan character.
Questions people ask
1Why does 朡 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.
