U+F981 "女" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F981 "女" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents the Chinese character for "woman" or "female," typically written as the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character 女. Unlike the unified CJK ideograph U+5973, which is used in modern text, this compatibility version was included in Unicode to preserve roundtrip conversion fidelity with older East Asian character encoding standards, such as CNS 11643, where specific glyphs or variant shapes were mapped to different code points. As a result, U+F981 is primarily intended for legacy data interchange and should be avoided in new content, as it serves no distinct semantic purpose beyond the standard character.
