See the Unicode Database: http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt.

Each line describes a unicode caharacter, for example:

1E9A;LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RIGHT HALF RING;Ll;0;L; 0061 02BE;;;;N;;;;;

If there's any similar (compatible) characters for that symbol, it will appear in the field of the entry. In this example, 0061 (ASCII a) is compatible to the LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RIGHT HALF RING Unicode character.

As for your character, the entry is

0455;CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER DZE;Ll;0;L;;;;;N;;;0405;;0405

which, as you can see, does not specify a compatibility character.
