U+5246 "剆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5246 "剆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant of the more common character "剝" meaning to peel, strip, or flay, though it can also carry the sense of cutting open or separating by force. Composed of the radical "刀" (knife) on the right and a phonetic component on the left, its usage in modern Chinese is extremely limited, appearing mostly in historical texts or specialized dictionaries. In Japanese, it is largely unrecognized in standard Kanji sets, while in Korean it may appear in classical literature or personal names. This character thus represents a peripheral and largely obsolete component of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) written tradition.
