Wisconsin, US state · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 威斯康辛; on the Mainland it is 威斯康星 - both point at “Wisconsin, US state”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 威斯康辛、威斯康星 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.
