What 靖 means
靖 maps to 靖: calm, peaceful, or pacify.
The character 靖 appears in citations from two early Chinese classics, the Classic of Documents and the Classic of Poetry. Chinese dictionaries also record senses such as quieting, governing, planning, and respectful conduct; familiar modern meanings center on pacifying or making things peaceful.
Why is there a separate 靖 character?
It preserves an encoding distinction, not a separate word.
Compatibility forms preserve mappings needed when text moves between older character encodings and Unicode and back. FAC8 carries the source tag KP1-84E4, which identifies its North Korean source repertoire.
Unicode maps 靖 to 靖. Another compatibility character, 靖, maps there too. For new text, use 靖; retain 靖 when a legacy record needs this exact character identity.
How do I enter the exact 靖?
Use Unicode input for FAC8.
If your editor supports Unicode entry by value, enter UFAC8. Typing 靖 through a Han-character input method selects the unified character instead.
Unicode normalization, a standard process for making equivalent text consistent, can map 靖 to 靖. Preserve the original character value in stored data when its exact identity matters.
Technical and archival: this form marks preserved source data or exact typography, rather than a distinct conversational word.
Unicode normalization can map 靖 to 靖 and erase its separate character identity.
