CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2F9AE

431/542

䕝 is a legacy encoding of 䕝, a rare Chinese character with old dictionary senses for an herb and sesame. Its separate code point (character ID) preserves a source entry from Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 character set.

Text symbol

What 䕝 means

Unicode treats it and 䕝 as equivalent character forms.

Unicode text normalization brings equivalent characters to a standard form: NFC, NFD, NFKC, and NFKD all turn 䕝 into 䕝. The registered sequence 䕝︀—䕝 plus the invisible variation selector UFE00—requests its matching glyph variant when a font supports it.

The Song-era Jiyun, an old Chinese dictionary, records an herb sense for 䕝. The Kangxi Dictionary, completed in 1716, also gives sesame as another name and cites a commentary on the Suwen, a Chinese medical text.

Keep 䕝 to preserve the source entry; ordinary text uses 䕝.

Why does 䕝 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
