U+5266 "剦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
剦
U+5266 "剦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to the act of castrating an animal, often specifically a rooster, thereby carrying connotations of gelding or caponizing. It is composed of the radical for knife or sword on the left and a phonetic component on the right, placing it within the broader category of characters related to cutting or surgical removal. While not among the most commonly used characters in modern standard Chinese, it appears in historical and agricultural texts, as well as in certain regional or technical contexts where animal husbandry practices are described.
