U+FA2D "鶴" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FA2D "鶴" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a specialized encoding from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, intended to represent a variant or duplicate form of a standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) character that appears in legacy character sets or older industry standards. Its specific glyph is a compatibility variant of the character for "crane" (often corresponding to U+9DB4 鶴), meaning it was included in Unicode mainly to preserve round-trip compatibility with older encoding systems, not to represent a distinct semantic concept. As a compatibility ideograph, its use is generally discouraged in favor of its standard CJK Unified Ideographs counterpart, and its appearance may vary across fonts and platforms.
