U+F99A "連" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F99A "連" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a CJK compatibility ideograph primarily representing the character "連" (meaning "connect" or "link") from the Kangxi Dictionary and older text sources. It exists in the compatibility block, which was created to preserve round-trip compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards like CNS 11643, rather than to encode a distinct modern meaning or usage. In practice, this character is a duplicate of the unified CJK character U+9023 "連" and should generally be avoided in new text, as its use is limited to legacy document conversion and specific historical contexts.
