U+F97D "諒" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F97D "諒" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents a variant form of a standard Chinese character, specifically a simplified version of the character for “to yield” or “to concede,” which corresponds to the unified CJK character U+8B72 (让). This particular ideograph was included in the Unicode standard to preserve the exact glyph shape used in older or regional text encodings, such as those from the CNS 11643 character set, to ensure faithful round-trip conversion between different systems without losing the original typographic appearance. Its placement in the Compatibility Ideographs block means it is a duplicate of a unified CJK character, intended solely for backward compatibility rather than for general modern use.
