U+5210 "刐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5210 "刐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that primarily denotes the act of carving or cutting, often specifically referring to the process of engraving or slicing with a knife. Its structure combines the radical "刀" (knife) on the right with a phonetic component on the left, though its usage in modern Chinese is extremely limited, having largely fallen out of common vocabulary. It appears in classical texts and historical dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined with meanings related to severing or cleaving, and it may also appear as a variant in certain specialized calligraphic or scholarly contexts.
