CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2F9A2

菌 represents 菌, the Han character used for mushrooms, fungi, and bacteria. Ordinary writing uses 菌; this separate code point preserves a Taiwan legacy-encoding distinction.

Text symbol

What 菌 means

It keeps a Taiwan encoding round-trippable.

CNS 11643-1992 is Taiwan’s standard for Chinese text. Its plane 6 entry T6-443C maps to 菌, which Unicode retains so conversion to and from the standard preserves the source character. Use 菌 in ordinary writing.

Because it canonically maps to 菌, Unicode normalization can replace it with that character. To request the standardized variant glyph, pair 菌 with UFE00 Variation Selector-1; the font must support the sequence.
