U+FA07 "輻" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FA07 "輻" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a specialized character included in the Unicode block for CJK Compatibility Ideographs, which were encoded primarily to preserve the identity of certain Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters that appear in legacy character sets and industry standards, such as those from the Huizhou or other regional databases, but differ slightly in shape or usage from their standard Unified CJK Ideograph counterparts. This specific ideograph, often considered a variant or duplicate of the character for "shark" (U+6C34 with a different radical or U+9C8D), is not intended for common modern text but exists to ensure round-trip compatibility with older document encoding systems, where it may represent a regionally specific or historical glyph. Its usage in modern contexts is rare and typically limited to specialized academic, archival, or conversion scenarios where preserving the original character form is critical.
