U+FA98 "滛" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+FA98 "滛" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a character from the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, a collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters that were encoded primarily for compatibility with older standards rather than for general use in modern text. This specific glyph represents a variant or duplicate of a common CJK unified ideograph, often linked to the character for "to carry" or "to bear" in traditional contexts, and its inclusion in Unicode preserves the exact visual representation used in pre-existing character sets or legacy systems. Because it is part of the compatibility block, its usage is generally discouraged in favor of the standard unified ideograph, and it may appear differently across fonts and platforms, serving mainly to ensure faithful round trip conversion of historical data.
