U+525E "剞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
剞
U+525E "剞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally categorized as a radical-based ideograph, often associated with carving or engraving tools, specifically referring to a curved knife or chisel used in ancient woodworking or stone carving. In classical texts, it appears in compound forms like "剞劂" (jījué), which describes the act of cutting or the carving knife itself, and is used metaphorically to denote the process of literary composition or editing, as if sculpting words. Although rarely used in modern everyday Chinese, it retains significance in specialized fields such as philology, historical linguistics, and the study of ancient craftsmanship.
