What 楂 means
Read it as 楂; Mandarin readings depend on the word.
Pinyin writes Mandarin sounds with Latin letters: in 山楂 (shānzhā, hawthorn), 楂 is zhā. The old dictionary 《集韻》 gives chá for floating wood or a raft; the Yuan dynasty farming manual 《農桑輯要》 uses it for a stump left after felling.
Why does this form exist?
It preserves Taiwan’s CNS 11643 entry.
CNS 11643 records 楂 as code 3-416E. Unicode kept entries like this for round-trip conversion: moving text into Unicode and back to CNS 11643-1992 without losing its original code.
