U+521C "刜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

刜

U+521C "刜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily functions as a verb in classical and literary contexts, meaning "to slash" or "to cut open," often with the connotation of striking or cleaving with a blade. It is composed of the radical 刀 (knife or sword) on the right, indicating its association with cutting actions, and the phonetic component 弗 on the left, which suggests its pronunciation (fú in Mandarin). This character appears in ancient texts, such as the Chinese classic "Zuo Zhuan," where it describes the act of cutting into something, like flesh or objects, and it remains a rare but recognized glyph in the Unicode standard, representing a historical linguistic artifact of early written Chinese.
