U+F94E "漏" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+F94E "漏" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK Compatibility block, specifically designated as a variant or duplicate of the standard CJK Unified Ideograph for the character "漏" (U+6F0F), which means "leak" or "drain" in Chinese and Japanese. It originates from the Unicode standard's effort to preserve exact shapes of characters used in legacy East Asian character sets, such as those from the Korean KS X 1001 standard or Japanese shift JIS, without guaranteeing that it will have a distinct meaning from its unified counterpart. While modern text encoding prefers the unified version for consistency, this compatibility character exists to ensure faithful round trip conversion of older encoded text, though its use is generally discouraged in favor of the standard U+6F0F.
