CJK Compatibility Ideographs is a Unicode block containing Han Ideographs that contained duplicate characters in the South Korean KS X 1001:1998 (U+F900-U+FA0B, 268 characters), Taiwanese Big5 (U+FA0C-U+FA0D, 2 characters), Japanese IBM 32 (CP932 variant; U+FA0E-U+FA2D, 32 characters), South Korean KS X 1001:2004 (U+FA2E-U+FA2F, 2 character), Japanese JIS X 0213 (U+FA30-U+FA6A, 59 characters), ARIB STD-B24 (U+FA6B-U+FA6D, 3 characters) and the North Korean KPS 10721-2000 (U+FA70-U+FAD9, 106 characters) source standards for CJK characters. In order to retain round-trip compatibility with that standard, the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block was created to hold those extra characters. In subsequent versions of the standard, more compatibility ideographs, and even a few regular ideographs that do not have duplicates, have been added to the block.

The block has dozens of ideographic variation sequences registered in the Unicode Ideographic Variation Database (IVD).[3][4] These sequences specify the desired glyph variant for a given Unicode character.
