Character ⼥ ( , & # 1 2 0 6 9 ;) looks similar to
character ( , & # 2 2 8 9 9 ;) and has similar meaning, and similar to
character ( , & # 6 3 8 7 3 ;) , that also has similar meaning [4].

Character (& # 6 3 8 7 3 ;) appears as recommended Kanji number 952 in the Table jōyō (2021) [5][6].

Existence of close synonyms is typical for the Unicode characters. Often, characters with similar pictures and similar meaning appear in Unicode; for example, A (A, & # 0 0 6 5 ;), А (А, & # 1 0 4 0 ;), (, & # 5 0 3 4 ;), ( & # 6 5 3 1 3;)
at some graphical interfaces look very similar.

These similarities (and the encoding of the characters mentioned) can be revealed with the PHP program below:

<?php 
function unichr($dec) {
  if ($dec < 128) {
    $utf = chr($dec);
  } else if ($dec < 2048) {
    $utf = chr(192 + (($dec - ($dec % 64)) / 64));
    $utf .= chr(128 + ($dec % 64));
  } else {
    $utf = chr(224 + (($dec - ($dec % 4096)) / 4096));
    $utf .= chr(128 + ((($dec % 4096) - ($dec % 64)) / 64));
    $utf .= chr(128 + ($dec % 64));
  }
  return $utf;
} 

function mb_str_split($str) {
   // split multibyte string in characters
   // at all positions except the start: ^
   // and the end: $
   $pattern = '/(?<!^)(?!$)/u';
   return preg_split($pattern,$str);
}

function uniord($a) 
{
  $M=strlen($a);
  $p=ord($a[0]);                    if($M==1) return $p;
  $p-=194;  $p*=64; $p+=ord($a[1]); if($M==2) return $p;
  $p-=2050; $p*=64; $p+=ord($a[2]);           return $p;
}

$a=unichr(0x2f25);
echo "$a\n";
$a.=unichr(0x5973);
echo "$a\n";
$a.=unichr(0xF981);
echo "$a\n";

//$a='⼤,大;⼩,小'; # two pairs of different unicode characters separated with "," and ";"
//$a='⼥,女;AАᎪᗅA'; # different unicode characters separated with "," and ";"
//$a='⼥,女'; # pair of different unicode characters separated with coma

$N=strlen($a);
echo "The array has $N bytes; here is its splitting:\n";

for($n=0;$n<$N;$n++)
{
printf("%02x ",ord($a[$n]) );
}
echo "\n";

$b = mb_str_split($a);

var_dump($b);
$M=count($b);

#mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

for($m=0;$m<$M;$m++)
{
printf("\n");
$c=$b[$m];
$u=uniord($c);
printf("Unicode character number %05d id est, x%04X\n",$u,$u);
$d=strlen($c);
echo "Picture: $c uses $d bytes. These bytes are:\n";
for($n=0;$n<$d;$n++) printf("x%2X ",ord($c[$n]));
printf("in the hexadecimal representation and\n");
for($n=0;$n<$d;$n++) printf("%3d ",ord($c[$n]));
printf("in the decimal representation\n");
}
?>

This program uses portable PHP functions unichr.t, mb_str_split.t and uniord.t. The output is

⼥
⼥女
⼥女女
The array has 9 bytes; here is its splitting:
e2 bc a5 e5 a5 b3 ef a6 81 
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "⼥"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "女"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "女"
}

Unicode character number 12069 id est, x2F25
Picture: ⼥ uses 3 bytes. These bytes are:

Confusions

Characters
X2F25, ( , & # x 2 f 2 5 ;) [7],
X5973 ( , & # x 5 9 7 3 ;) [8] and
XF981 ( , & # x F 9 8 1 ;) [9]
are easy to confuse. All the three appear with pictures similar to .

Not only Humans, but also the default mediawiki software confuse X5973 and XF981, redirecting from one to another. The same refers to various text editors, they confuse these characters. Such a case can be expressed with sentence: "If something is wrong, Cherchez la " [10][11][12].

For this reason, the names of articles should not include character X5973 nor XF981; at least until these bugs in the software will be corrected, and computers, where the old (not corrected for this bug) software is installed, become unusable. This may take from 10 to 100 years.

There are many confusible characters in Unicode [13]. For this reason, for serious documents, the Ascii characters should be preferred.
