U+5232 "刲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
刲
U+5232 "刲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily carries the meaning "to cut open" or "to carve out," often associated with the act of slitting or opening something, such as an animal's belly. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts, including the "Zhou Li" (Rites of Zhou), where it describes specific ritual or practical actions related to butchery or dissection. Its composition combines the "knife" radical (刂) on the right, indicating a cutting action, and the phonetic component "圭" on the left, which provides pronunciation cues. In modern usage, this character is rare and largely limited to specialized historical or literary contexts.
