U+F9CA "流" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9CA "流" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph representing a variant or duplicate form of a standard CJK character, specifically corresponding to the Chinese character "流," which means "to flow" or "a stream." It belongs to the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, a collection of characters encoded primarily for round-trip compatibility with older character encoding standards like CNS 11643 or IBM 935, ensuring that pre-existing text could be mapped into Unicode without loss. While visually identical or very similar to its standard counterpart U+6D41, this compatibility version is not recommended for ordinary text use, as it exists mainly to support legacy data and document conversion.
