U+FA32 "免" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FA32 "免" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a character from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was encoded primarily to maintain round-trip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards, such as those used in Japanese industrial standards. This specific character is a variant of the standard CJK Unified Ideograph for the Chinese character "免" (meaning to avoid, exempt, or free), which is found at U+514D, but it was given a separate code point in the compatibility block to match a specific, slightly stylized form used in certain legacy systems. In modern text processing, usage of U+FA32 is generally discouraged in favor of its unified counterpart, as compatibility ideographs are considered duplicates and are not intended for active writing; they are preserved for historical and data interchange purposes where exact glyph reproduction from older documents is necessary.
