What is the difference between 類 (unicode: 985e) and 類 (unicode: f9d0)?
They look virtually identical (at least as rendered by my computer). Rikaichan says that the former has 18 strokes and the latter 19 but I count 19 in both (rice (6)+ dog (4)+ page (9)). On Wiktionary the latter redirects to the page for the former.
Answer
類 = 米 + 大 + 頁
類 = 米 + 犬 + 頁
Naturally, 犬 has one more stroke than 大, so that 類 has one more stroke than 類.
The latter is a (常用外) variant of the former (but, as snailboat points out, is listed as 旧字体 variant in the 常用漢字表). The variant is also contained in the 人名用漢字 list.
