U+FAB3 "荒" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FAB3 "荒" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block, which contains characters used for compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards, such as those found in legacy Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) systems. This specific glyph is designated as a compatibility ideograph with the suffix "#", indicating it is a duplicate or variant form of a standard CJK Unified Ideograph, included solely to preserve round-trip conversion fidelity with older character sets. It does not represent a distinct semantic meaning or a new character in modern usage, but rather serves as a historical mapping artifact for text processing systems dealing with pre-Unicode encodings.
