CJK compatibility ideograph 2F8EA

235/542

槪 is a historical variant of 概 (“roughly,” “in general”) preserved in Taiwan’s CNS 11643 encoding for Chinese text. Unicode maps it to 槪 so source data can round-trip between systems.

Text symbol

What 槪 means

Unicode maps it to 槪, a historical variant of 概.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education variant dictionary cites 槪 in Longkan Shoujian and Jiyun, two older Chinese character dictionaries. The broader character family is explained in the Shuowen Jiezi, an early dictionary, through a wooden tool for leveling grain in a measuring vessel; the sense broadened to “roughly” and “in general.” CNS 11643-1992 places 槪 in its seventh plane, and Unicode keeps that form for round-trip conversion.

Does Unicode normalization change 槪?

Yes. Unicode normalization—the process of putting equivalent text into a standard form—changes 槪 to 槪. Preserve the original if exact CNS 11643 data must round-trip.
