U+F953 "肋" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F953 "肋" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents a variant form of a common Chinese character, specifically a version of the character "肋" (meaning rib or costal area). It was encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block to preserve the exact glyph shape used in older character set standards, such as those from the Chinese National Standard CNS 11643 or the Korean KS X 1001, for the purpose of round-trip conversion between these legacy encodings and Unicode. This character is not intended for general modern text usage, as its meaning and function are identical to its standard counterpart, and it exists primarily to ensure backward compatibility with historical data.
