CJK Compatibility Ideograph-2F98E

It preserves the rare Chinese character 䑫, a word for boat gear.

In Mandarin, 䑫 is read bēng. The 1008 Guangyun, a Song-dynasty book for organizing Chinese readings, glosses it as boat gear; the 1039 Jiyun records a boat-name sense.

Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992, a character-encoding standard, lists this form in source slot T6-6125. Unicode keeps 䑫 so conversion to Unicode and back can restore the same entry.

Does Unicode normalization change 䑫?

Yes. It becomes 䑫.

Text normalization standardizes equivalent strings, and all four Unicode normalization forms map 䑫 to 䑫. Keep 䑫 only when the CNS source record matters; for ordinary writing, use 䑫.
