What 潮 means
It represents 潮, the Chinese character for a tide.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, glosses 潮 as water moving toward the sea.
In Chinese, 潮 also describes figurative surges of thought or public activity.
Why keep 潮 separate?
To preserve its Taiwanese code position.
Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 code places it at 7-244F in section 7. It preserves the slot when converting to and from Unicode.
