U+F9E6 "罹" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9E6 "罹" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) block, specifically designed to represent a variant or duplicate form of a standard CJK unified ideograph for historical or encoding compatibility purposes. Its primary function is to map to a character from older character sets, such as those used in Korean or Japanese standards, that is otherwise considered a duplicate of a unified character in Unicode. In modern usage, "罹" is generally not recommended for new text, as it corresponds to the unified ideograph U+8FFD, which means "pursue" or "chase" in contexts like Chinese and Japanese, but is preserved solely to maintain round-trip conversion with legacy systems.
