U+FA03 "糖" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FA03 "糖" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a seldom used symbol classified under the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was designed to represent characters from legacy East Asian character sets or standards that are not encoded elsewhere in Unicode. This specific ideograph is formally defined as a compatibility variant that corresponds to the standard CJK Unified Ideograph for “sugar” or “candy”, typically represented by the character 糖 (U+7CD6) in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts. Its inclusion in Unicode is primarily for round trip conversion with older encoding systems, such as those used in Japanese corporate or industry specific standards, and it is not recommended for general use in modern writing due to its duplicate nature with the unified ideograph.
