CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2F973

372/542

𦉇 represents the word for a bottle or jar in an older written form. Unicode preserves it for Taiwan’s CNS 11643 code 7-3A46, though normalization can collapse the form.

Text symbol

What 𦉇 means

It maps to 𦉇, a historical variant of 瓶 (“bottle”). A Chinese dictionary supplement, 字彙補 (1666), records 𦉇 as equivalent to 缾 and quotes a Song dynasty passage.

Taiwan’s CNS 11643 character standard became official in 1986 and grew from two numbered sections to seven in 1992. Its catalog places 7-3A46 in section seven, where variant characters were common.

Unicode keeps the separate character for conversion to and from CNS 11643. Normalization may turn it into 𦉇; sequence 𦉇︀ adds an invisible variation selector that preserves its glyph shape in supporting software.

Questions people ask

1

Why won't 𦉇 display on Windows?

It is a font-coverage issue. The Taiwan CNS11643 entry says Windows’ default fonts lack this glyph (as of 2026); a font that includes it can display the character.
