U+F94D "淚" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F94D "淚" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a CJK compatibility ideograph that encodes a variant form of the common Chinese character for "tear" (traditional: 淚, simplified: 泪). It was included in the Unicode standard within the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block primarily to preserve the exact glyph shape and code point mapping from pre-existing East Asian character set standards, such as those used in older Korean or Japanese encoding systems, in order to facilitate round-trip conversion between different legacy encodings. This character is not intended for general modern text use, as its function is to map to a unified CJK character elsewhere in Unicode, and it is marked as a compatibility character to avoid confusion with the standard form.
