About this character

U+213B (℻) is FACSIMILE SIGN, a symbol in the Letterlike Symbols block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 4.0 (2003).

It is a compatibility variant of U+0046 F + U+0041 A + U+0058 X (compatibility decomposition <compat>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0046 F + U+0041 A + U+0058 X. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.
