U+527E "剾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
剾
U+527E "剾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the radical for a knife or sword on the right and a phonetic component on the left, and it traditionally means to scrape or to pare away, often carrying a sense of removing something layer by layer with a sharp tool. This character belongs to the set of East Asian ideographs unified across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, though its modern usage is extremely limited and largely confined to historical texts or specialized dictionaries. In contemporary standard Mandarin, it has largely fallen out of common vocabulary, but it remains a valid part of the Unicode standard to preserve the full range of classical Chinese written forms.
