U+FA1C "靖" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FA1C "靖" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents a variant form of the Chinese character "靖" (jìng), which carries meanings of peace, calm, or to pacify. It is part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, included in Unicode primarily to preserve the mapping of older character set standards, such as those from Japanese or Taiwanese locales, where this variant was used in historical or simplified forms. Unlike the standard CJK Unified Ideographs, this character is not intended for regular modern text but exists to ensure roundtrip conversion fidelity between legacy encoding systems, and it is often used in personal names, place names, or classical literature where the variant shape distinguishes it from the main character.
