U+522C "刬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
刬
U+522C "刬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with a primary meaning of "to level" or "to pare" often used in the context of cutting or smoothing flat surfaces. It is composed of the radical "刂" (knife) on the right, which suggests an action of cutting, while the left component "戋" contributes to the sound and implies something small or gradually diminishing. In classical and literary Chinese, this character appears in phrases such as "刬除" meaning to eliminate or remove obstacles, and it can also signify a sloping or leveling action, as in smoothing ground. Historically, it has been used in poetry and official documents, reflecting nuanced actions of stripping away or making even.
