U+F9A5 "殮" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+F9A5 "殮" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph encoded in the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which represents a variant form of a common Chinese character found in historical or legacy character set standards. Specifically, it corresponds to the standard CJK Unified Ideograph U+9325, which is the character "練" (liàn in Mandarin), meaning "to practice," "to train," or "to refine," such as in the context of skills or language. The compatibility character exists to preserve round-trip conversion fidelity from older encodings like the Korean or Japanese national standards, where the shape or stroke order of the ideograph differed slightly from the unified version, but in modern usage it is generally considered a duplicate and is best avoided in favor of the standard character for consistency across platforms and documents.
