U+FA4B "碑" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+FA4B "碑" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph used in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems, encoded specifically for roundtrip conversion with older standards like the Japanese industry standard JIS X 0213. It represents the same underlying character as the unified CJK ideograph U+8202 "舂," which means to pound or grind, often referring to processing grain in a mortar. The compatibility version exists primarily to preserve the exact glyph shape and encoding from legacy character sets, but in modern text processing, the unified U+8202 is generally preferred for new documents.
