CJK compatibility ideograph 2F8EF

240/542

次 is a compatibility form of 次, a Han character used for order, what comes next, and each occurrence. It preserves a legacy character-set entry; ordinary Chinese and Japanese writing uses 次.

Text symbol

What 次 means

It maps to 次, the same Han character.

In Korean Hanja (Chinese-character vocabulary), 次 is read 차 (cha) and means order or sequence.

Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 is a coded character set. Unicode's compatibility supplement retains entries from its planes 3–7 and 15 so conversion back can recover the source entry. Every Unicode normalization form, a standard way to treat equivalent text alike, turns 次 into 次. The registered sequence 次 UFE00 uses an invisible selector to request the variant glyph where supported.

Why does 次 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.
