U+5239 "刹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
刹
U+5239 "刹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "brake" or "stop" and also appears in Buddhist contexts as a transliteration for the concept of a "temple" or "monastery," notably in the word "刹那" (chànà), which means an instant or a moment derived from Sanskrit. In its more common usage related to vehicles and machinery, it forms part of words like "刹车" (shāchē), meaning "to brake" or "brake mechanism." The character is composed of the radical for "knife" (刀) on the right and a phonetic component related to "kill" (杀), reflecting its historical association with halting or cutting short an action.
