What 鬒 means
鬒 corresponds to 鬒, a character for dense, dark hair.
The Han-period Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi records the older related character 㐱 with the sense “dense hair.” 鬒 is written with 髟, the recurring hair component in Chinese characters. In the early Chinese poetry collection Book of Odes, “鬒髮如雲” describes hair as “dense and dark like clouds.”
鬒 was included for round-trip conversion with KPS 10721-2000, an older character-set standard. Unicode maps it to 鬒, so normalization can replace FACD with 鬒 while leaving the character's meaning unchanged.
How do I type 鬒?
Use a Unicode escape or code-point picker when you need FACD itself.
In source code, use \uFACD where your language supports Unicode escapes; in HTML, use 鬒 or 鬒. A system code-point picker can accept hexadecimal FACD, though its keystrokes vary by platform.
Unicode normalization can replace FACD with 鬒. If the original code point matters, compare it before and after normalizing the text.
Technical and literary: a classical Chinese character preserved in character-set conversions.
A box signals missing font coverage; normalization to 鬒 changes the code point.

Questions people ask
2Why did 鬒 turn into 鬒?
Unicode normalization can replace FACD with its mapped character 鬒. The meaning remains, but the original code point changes.
Why does 鬒 show as a box?
The selected font may not contain this character's glyph. The box is a missing-glyph placeholder; the encoded text is still FACD.
