U+522F "刯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
刯
U+522F "刯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the knife radical (刂) on the right, combined with a left component that resembles a simplified form of "田" (field), meaning it is often understood to relate to cutting or slicing agricultural plots. Its exact historical usage remains obscure, as it does not appear in common classical Chinese texts or modern standard dictionaries, likely serving as a variant or a regional glyph for a more common character. In modern computing and typography, it represents an extremely obscure composition within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, primarily of interest to linguists, font developers, or specialists encoding ancient or dialectal scripts.
