U+FACE "" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Browser Default

U+FACE "" CJK Compatibility Ideograph-# is a rarely encountered symbol within the Unicode standard, specifically categorized under the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block. This block contains characters that were originally included for compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards, meaning U+FACE represents a Chinese/Japanese/Korean ideograph that had a distinct shape or usage in legacy systems but is now considered a duplicate of a standard CJK Unified Ideograph. In practice, U+FACE is seldom used in modern text, as its function is largely superseded by its unified counterpart in the main CJK block, and its primary purpose is to preserve round-trip compatibility with older data.
