CJK compatibility ideograph 2F9FC

509/542

䪲 preserves the code position for 䪲, a rare Chinese character glossed as an old punishment: shaving the head. Its Unicode role is to let text from Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 character set convert back without losing its original position.

Text symbol

What 䪲 means

It preserves one entry from an older Taiwanese character set. Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 standard placed 䪲 at T5-3D47 on plane five. Unicode assigned that source entry 䪲 so text could be converted to Unicode and back without losing its original position.

The Song-era Chinese rhyme dictionary Jiyun records 䪲 for the old punishment of shaving a person’s head; later dictionaries link it to 髡. That historical meaning belongs to 䪲, while 䪲 preserves the code-set identity.

Why does it change to 䪲 after normalization?

It becomes 䪲 because Unicode text normalization applies that canonical mapping. The sequence 䪲︀ (䪲 followed by an invisible variation selector) preserves the source-specific glyph.
