What 窱 means
It preserves a source-standard form of the Han character 窱. Unicode pairs it with source label KP1-6330 in KPS 10721-2000, North Korea’s standard for exchanging Hanja—Chinese characters used in Korean writing. This compatibility form preserves the standard’s source distinction during text conversion; it did not create a new Han word. Chinese dictionaries describe 窱 as deep or far-reaching, including in the phrase 杳窱. The Kangxi Dictionary, a Chinese-character dictionary first published in 1716, also records it.
Why does it turn into 窱?
Text normalization can replace 窱 with 窱. Unicode defines a canonical mapping between the compatibility form and its unified counterpart. A normalization pass can therefore replace the original code point. If the source form matters, compare the stored characters before and after an editor, database, or exchange system processes the text.
How do I type 窱?
Use a hexadecimal Unicode input command. In an editor or operating-system input tool that supports Unicode hex entry, enter FAAC and confirm; the command varies by tool.
Its documented job is preserving a source-standard distinction during text interchange.
Normalization can replace 窱 with 窱 and erase the source-code distinction.
