U+F96B "參" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F96B "參" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents the Chinese and Japanese character for "participation" or "to join" (often corresponding to the standard character 參), and it belongs to the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was included in Unicode to maintain round-trip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards like the CNS 11643-1992 standard. This character is considered a compatibility variant and is not recommended for general text use, as it duplicates a character available in the main CJK Unified Ideographs block.
