U+F9E5 "痢" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9E5 "痢" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, representing a variant of the standard CJK unified ideograph U+5229, which means "profit" or "advantage" in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It was encoded for round trip compatibility with older character sets such as CNS 11643, where it maps to the character in the first plane (1-4D63). This character is generally considered a duplicate or variant form and is not recommended for use in modern text, as its preferred equivalent is the unified ideograph U+5229, which should be used instead in most contexts.
