Note that there is no line above 生 in Japanese shinjitai. A CJK compatibility ideograph (U+F9DC) exists for the kyūjitai form of 隆 which has an extra line above 生. Due to Han unification, the Chinese form (with line above 生) and Japanese form (without line) are encoded under the same codepoint. The character 𨺓 (U+28E93) exists for the Chinese form with no line above 生.
