Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/遠端 vs 远程
remote · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 遠端; on the Mainland it is 远程 - both point at “remote”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 遠端、遠程 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
远程 is HSK 7-9 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
