U+5233 "刳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
刳
U+5233 "刳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that means to cut open, to hollow out, or to scoop out, often referring to the act of carving or gouging into something, particularly in contexts like butchering or woodworking. It is composed of the radical 刂 (knife) on the right, indicating an action involving cutting, and the phonetic component 夸 on the left, which contributes to its pronunciation (kū in Mandarin). Historically, the character appears in classical texts and is used in modern Chinese in technical or literary expressions, such as 刳木 (to hollow out wood) or 刳胎 (to cut open a womb), though it is less common in everyday language.
