U+FA5B "者" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FA5B "者" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a compatibility ideograph that represents a variant form of the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character for "person" or "someone," corresponding to the common character 者 (U+8005). It is part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was included in Unicode primarily to preserve roundtrip compatibility with older character encoding standards, such as Japanese JIS X 0213, where this specific shape was used. In modern usage, this character is largely considered unnecessary and is not recommended for new text, as it duplicates the functionality of the standard character and exists mainly for historical or archival data conversion purposes.
