CJK compatibility ideograph FA33

308/472

勉 carries 勉's sense of making an effort, striving, or urging someone on. The FA33 form is kept for converting older Japanese JIS text, not as a separate everyday word. Use 勉 in ordinary writing; retain 勉 when the original code-point distinction matters.

Text symbol

What 勉 means

It points to effort, striving, or encouragement. Japanese uses 勉 in 勉強 (study) and 勉学 (academic study). Mandarin Chinese dictionaries also record it in words for encouraging someone and working diligently.

JIS X 0213:2000 is a Japanese character-encoding standard. Its source cell 3-2E63 received a separate Unicode form so text could round-trip between the systems without losing the original character distinction.

A technical compatibility form, not a separate everyday word.

Use 勉 in ordinary writing; keep 勉 only when the original JIS distinction must survive.

Will normalization preserve 勉?

No. Unicode normalization, a standard process for making text representations consistent, maps it to 勉, so the separate code-point distinction is lost.
