CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2FA03

516/542

䬳 maps to 䬳, an old variant of 粄 (bǎn), a rice-flour cake. In Taiwan’s Hakka language, 粄 names rice cakes; this Unicode form preserves a CNS 11643 encoding distinction.

Text symbol

What 䬳 means

It is a compatibility form of 䬳, a variant of 粄.

A record appears in Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 543; later dictionaries define 粄 as a cake made from ground rice.

Why does 䬳 have a separate character?

It preserves a Taiwan CNS 11643 form for conversion.

CNS 11643-1992 assigns it plane 6, position 5A3D. NFKC normalization changes it to 䬳, removing its separate code-point identity.
