<h3>'Compatibility characters' vary in appropriateness</h3>

<blockquote>
<p>The Unicode Standard provides compatibility mappings for a number of characters. Compatibility mappings indicate a
relationship to another character, but the exact nature of the relationship varies. In some cases the relationship means &quot;is based on&quot;, in some other
cases it denotes a property. When plain text is marked up, it may make sense to map some of these characters to their compatibility equivalents and
suitable markup. It is important to understand the nature of the distinctions between characters and their compatibility equivalents and the context
in which these distinctions matter. It is never advisable to apply compatibility mappings indiscriminately.</p>
