U+F9EA "離" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9EA "離" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK Compatibility block, representing a variant form of the standard CJK unified ideograph for the Chinese character "離" (lí), which traditionally conveys meanings related to separation, departure, or distance. This specific code point originates from a set of characters encoded primarily to preserve roundtrip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards, such as CNS 11643, ensuring that legacy text can be accurately represented in Unicode. Unlike unified ideographs, this compatibility character is not recommended for general text use, as its semantic and graphical identity is essentially the same as its standard counterpart.
