U+F9E1 "李" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+F9E1 "李" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph representing the Chinese character for "plum" (李), which is very common as a surname in East Asian cultures. This character belongs to the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, a set of characters encoded primarily to preserve roundtrip conversion fidelity with older legacy character sets like CNS 11643, rather than to provide unique semantic or phonetic usage distinct from its canonical CJK Unified Ideograph counterpart. As a compatibility ideograph, it is generally considered a duplicate of the standard CJK character U+674E "李", and its use in modern text is discouraged in favor of the unified version, except in contexts where the exact representation from a specific legacy encoding must be maintained.
