U+F95C "樂" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F95C "樂" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, encoded primarily for round-trip conversion with older East Asian character set standards, such as Korean KS X 1001. This character represents the Chinese character for "happiness" or "music" (pronounced *lè* or *yuè* in Mandarin and *rak* in Korean) and is a variant form of the standard unified ideograph U+6A02 "樂." Its inclusion in the compatibility block, rather than the unified CJK Unified Ideographs block, reflects its historical use in pre-Unicode encoding systems, where it was assigned a distinct code point to preserve exact mappings from source standards, though it is generally not recommended for use in modern text unless preserving specific legacy data.
