Compatibility form of 舄

397/542

舄 refers to the Chinese character 舄, which can mean “shoe.” The separate Unicode form preserves a distinct entry from Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 standard; it does not mark a separate everyday word.

Text symbol

What 舄 means

To preserve the source code through conversion. Unicode’s chart maps it to Plane 6 entry T6-4D5E in Taiwan’s CNS standard. CNS 11643 is a standard for exchanging Chinese text; this extra form lets conversion to and from Unicode retain the original entry.

In classical Chinese, 舄 can also mean salt-affected, barren land, a sense also written 潟.

Yes. Its canonical decomposition is 舄, so both NFC and NFD replace the distinct code point with the ordinary character. That matters when software must preserve the exact CNS source entry through conversion.
