U+F964 "磻" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+F964 "磻" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block, specifically included in the Unicode standard to represent a variant or simplified form of a character that was used in legacy encoding systems, such as those found in older East Asian character sets. Its primary purpose is to ensure round-trip conversion compatibility with these earlier encodings rather than to introduce a new or commonly used logograph. While it corresponds to a recognized glyph in certain historical or regional contexts, it is not a standard character in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing. As a compatibility ideograph, it is assigned for specialized use, such as in text processing or document preservation, where maintaining fidelity to older coded data is necessary.
