Quite correct (I checked with a Chinese colleague. He said
the "pin" character means "to assemble like a jigsaw puzzle")

Unfortunately the correct character is not in JIS1/2. It is in
JIS 0212-1990 (31$B6h(B57$BE@(B), but I cannot enter or display those
kanji (yet). Is $BJ;2;(B generally recognized by Japanese as "pinyin"?
Several people responding to my original posting said it was.
