U+5279 "剹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5279 "剹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically obscure Chinese character that primarily carries the meaning of "to cut" or "to slice," often associated with the action of cutting off or severing, and is sometimes used in classical texts to denote a specific type of blade or a method of execution. Its usage is extremely limited in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, and it is not a standard component of contemporary vocabulary, appearing mainly in specialized dictionaries or in transcriptions of ancient literature. The character is composed of the "knife" radical (刀) on the right, which indicates its connection to cutting instruments, and a phonetic component on the left that provides clues to its historical pronunciation. Due to its rarity, it is primarily of interest to philologists and scholars studying old Chinese character forms and their evolution.
