U+F980 "呂" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F980 "呂" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph found in the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was encoded primarily to preserve the round-trip integrity of text converted from legacy character sets used in East Asian computing systems. This particular character is a variant of the standard CJK Unified Ideograph for the Chinese character meaning "female" or "woman," similar to U+5973 "女," but it appears in a specialized compatibility form often used in older or proprietary encoding standards. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that documents originally encoded using such systems can be accurately represented without losing data, though it is typically discouraged for new text, as the unified character is preferred in modern usage.
