U+FA16 "猪" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+FA16 "猪" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph found within the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, designed to encode a variant form of the Chinese character for "pig" or "boar" (often corresponding to the standard character 豬 or 猪). This specific glyph originates from a source standard separate from the main CJK Unified Ideographs set, such as an older or non-standard character dictionary or industrial code, and was included in Unicode to preserve round-trip compatibility with legacy character encodings. While it looks similar to standard representations, its unique shape or stroke order may differ, and it is generally not recommended for use in modern text due to Unicode guidelines favoring the unified ideographs for typical content.
