U+5281 "劁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

劁

U+5281 "劁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically conveys the meaning of castrating animals, particularly livestock such as pigs or horses, and is thus associated with veterinary or agricultural practices involving neutering. It is composed of the radical "刀" (knife) on the right, indicating a cutting or surgical action, and the phonetic component "焦" on the left, which also carries a secondary connotation of scorching or burning. In modern usage, this character is relatively rare and is primarily encountered in classical Chinese texts or specialized terminology related to traditional animal husbandry.
