U+FA2B "飼" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FA2B "飼" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a glyph that belongs to the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was designed to encode duplicate or variant characters from legacy East Asian character sets for compatibility with modern Unicode text. Specifically, this character represents a variant form of the standard CJK unified ideograph for the Chinese character meaning "to feed" or "to raise" (typically 飼), and it originates from the CNS 11643 standard used in Taiwan. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that text encoded in older systems can be accurately represented without loss of information, though it is generally considered a compatibility character rather than a core part of modern written Chinese or Japanese.
