U+FA38 "器" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FA38 "器" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a character from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which is a set of encoded forms designed to preserve the original, often simplified or variant, shapes of Chinese characters as they appeared in older industry standards like the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) or the Korean Standard (KS). Specifically, U+FA38 corresponds to the character "器" (meaning "vessel" or "container") but represents a particular glyph variant that differs from its unified counterpart in the main CJK Unified Ideographs block. This compatibility character is included to allow for round-trip conversion and faithful representation of legacy text, ensuring that documents encoded in older systems display exactly as intended without losing the visual distinctions that were meaningful in those contexts.
