What 勤 means
No. It carries the same meaning as 勤.
FA34, written as 勤, does not add a separate everyday sense. 勤 is used in Japanese and Chinese for diligence, work, or duty.
Why does FA34 preserve a Japanese source distinction?
It keeps a JIS X 0213 source mapping through conversion.
JIS X 0213:2000, a Japanese character-set standard issued on 2000-02-29, assigns this character to source cell 1-14-72. The Shift_JIS-2004 mapping is 0x87E6.
This mapping lets Japanese text pass through Unicode and back without losing its original JIS character position.
When should I keep 勤?
Keep it when the original source distinction matters.
For ordinary text about diligence, work, or duty, use 勤. A Japanese source file may use 勤 to preserve its original JIS character position.
Technical and archival; its presence usually points to Japanese source fidelity, not a different sense.
For ordinary writing, choose 勤; reserve 勤 for exact source preservation.
