U+F9E9 "里" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9E9 "里" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents a variant form of the Chinese character "里" which means village, mile, or inner, and is encoded in the Unicode standard's CJK Compatibility Ideographs block primarily to preserve round-trip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards like CNS 11643 or Japanese vendor specific extensions. This character is not intended for general use in modern text; rather it exists to map identically to its standard unified CJK counterpart U+91CC "里" through normalization, and its inclusion helps ensure that legacy documents retain their visual identity when converted to Unicode without altering the intended glyph shape or meaning.
