U+528B "劋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
劋
U+528B "劋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character primarily used in classical texts, with its meaning and usage varying across historical sources. In its most common definition, it denotes the action of cutting, chopping, or slicing, often with a blade, and it can also imply extermination or destruction, reflecting its radical "刀" (knife or sword) on the left side. This character appears in ancient literature, such as the Han dynasty dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is linked to words for killing or severing, though it is seldom used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, making it a subject of interest for scholars of historical linguistics and paleography.
