CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2F908

265/542

港 is how 港 appears in one preserved character encoding: the Han character used for a harbor or port. Taiwan’s CNS 11643 standard keeps a separate code for it, though Unicode normalization can turn it back into 港.

Text symbol

What 港 means

It carries the meaning of 港, not a separate word.

Taiwan’s CNS 11643 character set lists this form as 6-4A65, preserving its entry when text moves between that standard and Unicode. In Chinese, 港 (Mandarin gǎng; Cantonese gong2) means a port or harbor; an older Chinese dictionary also records a side stream branching from a larger river or lake. Japanese reads 港 as minato on its own or kō in compounds. Korean uses 港 as Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean), read hang in port-related words.

Why does software turn 港 into 港?

Unicode normalization maps 港 to 港. After that conversion, software no longer knows that the text began with this separate encoded form.
