U+FA46 "渚" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+FA46 "渚" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a character from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was included in Unicode primarily to maintain round-trip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards like JIS X 0208. This specific glyph represents a variant or duplicate form of a common Chinese or Japanese character, typically corresponding to the standard CJK Unified Ideograph U+6FEF "濯" meaning "to wash" or "to cleanse." Its inclusion in the compatibility block means it is not recommended for general text use; instead, modern systems and applications should use its standard unified counterpart, as the compatibility ideographs often differ only in typographic or source-specific details rather than in semantic meaning.
