What 芋 means
When its source-code identity matters.
The Unicode chart assigns 芋 to Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 entry T6-2552 and maps it to 芋 . That separate slot lets older CNS text make a round trip through Unicode.
A Japanese dictionary cites the reading imo in the Nihon Shoki, an early chronicle, in 720. Mandarin yù and Korean Hanja u refer to taro; Japanese imo also covers edible tubers broadly.

Questions people ask
1Why does 芋 become 芋?
Normalization changes it because its canonical mapping is 芋. The standardized sequence 芋 UFE00 requests its compatibility glyph; the selector is invisible and works only where the font supports that variant.
