U+526D "剭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+526D "剭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare historical Chinese character that primarily signifies the ritualized killing or execution of a high-ranking official, often involving the destruction of their family or lineage as a form of punishment. It is composed of the radical "刂" (knife) suggesting cutting or violence, and the phonetic component "屋" (house or room), which may allude to the act taking place within a household or courtly setting. This character appears in classical Chinese texts, particularly in historical records describing ancient dynastic purges or severe judicial penalties, and is not commonly used in modern writing. Its meaning reflects concepts of state-sanctioned violence and social order in pre-modern East Asian governance.
