U+FA26 "都" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FA26 "都" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph included in the Unicode standard to represent a variant or simplified form of the CJK unified character for "metropolis" or "capital," typically associated with the character 都. It falls under the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was primarily designed for round-trip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards, such as those used in Japanese shifted-JIS or Chinese GB/T systems. As a compatibility character, its use is generally discouraged in modern text in favor of its canonical unified counterpart, and it exists to ensure that legacy documents can be accurately mapped to Unicode without losing their original glyph shapes or intended semantics.
