U+F90C "奈" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+F90C "奈" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, a legacy area of Unicode designed to encode characters that have distinct shapes in older East Asian character sets, primarily to preserve round-trip conversion compatibility with older standards like JIS X 0208 and other vendor-specific encodings. It visually represents a variant form of the CJK Unified Ideograph U+2F8A1 "奈", which generally means "what" or is used phonetically in Japanese names and compounds. This character is classified as a compatibility ideograph rather than a unified one because its glyph shape or mapping originated from a specific source standard, such as IBM or Adobe, ensuring that documents encoded in those older systems do not lose their intended appearance when converted to Unicode.
