serial port · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 序列埠; on the Mainland it is 串口 - both point at “serial port”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 序列埠、串口 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.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
