U+F9C8 "" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+F9C8 "" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph from the CJK Compatibility block, specifically representing a variant form of a standard Chinese character used primarily in historical or legacy text encoding contexts, such as pre-Unicode character sets like CNS 11643 or IBM's extended encoding. This character, which visually resembles the ideograph for "利" (meaning benefit or profit) with a modified radical or stroke composition, was included in Unicode to ensure round-trip conversion fidelity with older East Asian character standards, rather than representing a distinct modern usage. Its compatibility nature means it is typically not recommended for new content creation, as it duplicates a unified CJK character found elsewhere in the Unicode standard under a different code point.
