U+F968 "泌" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+F968 "泌" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents a variant form of the standard CJK character 沁, which in modern Chinese and Japanese usage typically means "to seep into" or "to infiltrate," as in liquid gradually permeating a substance. This character belongs to the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was included in Unicode specifically to preserve the encoding of characters from earlier East Asian character set standards, such as those used in legacy computer systems or specific fonts, rather than to represent a distinct or frequently used modern glyph. As a compatibility ideograph, its primary purpose is to facilitate round-trip conversion between older text encodings and Unicode without losing data, rather than to be used in contemporary writing, where the standard form 沁 is preferred.
