Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/畢卡索 vs 毕加索
Picasso · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 畢卡索; on the Mainland it is 毕加索 - both point at “Picasso”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 畢卡索、畢加索 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
