U+FA52 "禍" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+FA52 "禍" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block, included in Unicode primarily to preserve the round-trip conversion integrity of older character set standards, such as the Japanese JIS X 0208, where it represents a variant or alternate glyph of the common Chinese and Japanese character for trouble or disaster, often corresponding to the standard CJK Unified Ideograph U+796D (祭). This specific form is visually distinguished from its unified counterpart by subtle stroke differences, and its compatibility designation indicates that it should not be used in new text but rather retained for exact interchange with legacy data.
