U+F9C5 "暈" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9C5 "暈" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was originally included in Unicode to provide roundtrip compatibility with earlier East Asian character encoding standards, such as the Japanese Shift JIS. This specific character is a duplicate, or compatibility variant, of the regular CJK Unified Ideograph U+6D36, which represents the Chinese character "渴" meaning "thirsty" or "to thirst." Its presence in the compatibility block means it is not intended for use in modern text where the unified ideograph is preferred, but it exists to preserve the exact mapping from older encoded text without information loss.
