U+FA05 "洞" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FA05 "洞" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that maps to the standard CJK Unified Ideograph U+7AD7, which is the character for "cave" or "hole" (often written as 洞), but it is encoded in a separate block primarily to preserve the exact original form or variant glyph found in older, pre-unification character set standards, such as those from Japanese industrial standards or early Chinese encodings. Its purpose within the compatibility block is to ensure that text converted from those legacy systems maintains its intended appearance and roundtrip fidelity, even though modern systems typically prefer the unified encoding.
