U+FA96 "殺" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+FA96 "殺" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which was created to encode characters that are considered duplicates or variant forms of standard CJK Unified Ideographs but were included for compatibility with older character sets and standards. Specifically, it represents a single Chinese/Japanese character that has a corresponding unified version elsewhere in Unicode, and its inclusion ensures that text from legacy systems can be mapped and displayed accurately without losing the original glyph shape. This character is rarely used in modern writing, as the preferred form is typically the unified ideograph it corresponds to, making U+FA96 primarily relevant for historical data interchange and archival purposes.
