What it means

pier (码头)

Spot it here

Pier and dock boards along the water edge below the plaza.

Remember this

码 almost always rides inside 码头 here — pier / dock, not a barcode joke. Match the glyph to windy rails and embarkation lines: the cruise selfie lives at the 码; the gate name lives one level up at the plaza mouth.
