U+5255 "剕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5255 "剕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to the ancient punishment of cutting off the feet, a form of corporal mutilation used in early Chinese legal codes. This character belongs to the radical for knife or sword, which influences its meaning related to cutting or severing, and it appears primarily in classical texts discussing penal systems or historical records. In modern usage, it is rare and largely confined to scholarly or historical contexts, as the practice it describes has long been abolished.
