Compatibility form of 茣

413/542

茣 is a Unicode form of the old Chinese character 茣, recorded in dictionaries as a plant name. It preserves a Taiwan CNS source entry during text conversion. Normalization changes it to 茣 unless a variation selector preserves the source glyph.

Text symbol

What 茣 means

It keeps a source-coded form of 茣.

T6-442B identifies its entry in Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 character-encoding standard. Keeping that entry distinct lets software convert the text to Unicode and back without losing the original source code.

Older Chinese dictionaries record 茣 as a plant name and equate it with 䓊. Unicode normalization maps 茣 to 茣. To preserve its source glyph, append Variation Selector-1 to 茣; unsupported systems show ordinary 茣.

Why does 茣 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
