It is used as a separator between names and surnames of foreign people
transliterated in ideographs (or in katakana, in Japan).
I think I also have seen it used as a separator for the single words in
transliterated foreign place names.

But some of the characters in the "CJK *Compatibility* Ideographs"
[U+F900..U+FAFF] have no compatibility decomposition (i.e., in this case,
cannot be mapped to regular "CJK Unified Ideographs" [U+4E00..U+9FFF]).
Are they not compatibility characters then?
