U+FA41 "敏" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

敏

U+FA41 "敏" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph encoded in the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, originally intended for round-trip mapping with older East Asian character encoding standards like JIS X 0208. It represents a specific variant of the kanji character 敏, meaning "quick" or "clever," and is visually identical to its standard counterpart in the Unified CJK Ideographs block, but its separate encoding exists solely to preserve historical document fidelity. In modern use, this character is considered obsolete and is not recommended for new text, as its function has been fully absorbed by the unified character U+654F (敏), with U+FA41 serving only as a legacy artifact for backward compatibility in systems that require exact representation of older character sets.
