CJK Compatibility Ideograph-2F9A7

424/542

䔫 represents 䔫, an alternate form of 蔬, the Chinese character for edible plants. Its separate code point preserves the identity of a Taiwan CNS character when text is converted into Unicode and back.

Text symbol

What 䔫 means

It maps to 䔫, a variant of 蔬. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education variant dictionary lists 䔫 under 蔬, which it defines as edible herbaceous plants.

Why does 䔫 have its own code?

It preserves a source-character distinction during conversion. Unicode’s chart ties it to the TF-5164 source in CNS 11643-1992, Taiwan’s standard for encoding Chinese characters. A round trip converts text from that standard to Unicode and back without losing which source character it used. For ordinary writing, use 䔫.

Why does 䔫 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.
