What 韠 means
It preserves the written form of 韠, pronounced bì in Mandarin. The word refers to a leather panel worn over the knees with formal dress.
The Book of Songs, a Chinese poetry collection, mentions 素韠 in the poem 素冠 (Plain Cap); Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, describes the garment as leather.
Why does 韠 become 韠?
Unicode maps it to 韠. This entry preserves Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 character code T4-652A for conversion to Unicode and back. All four Unicode normalization forms—NFC, NFD, NFKC, and NFKD—change it to 韠, removing the separate code point.
To show the same variant using 韠, use the standardized sequence 韠︀ (U97E0 UFE00).

Questions people ask
1Why does 韠 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.
