U+5291 "劑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

劑

U+5291 "劑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "dose," "preparation," or "mixture," often referring to a measured amount of medicine or a chemical compound. It is composed of the knife radical (刂) on the right side, indicating cutting or dividing, and the phonetic component 齊 on the left, which contributes to its pronunciation (jì in Mandarin, similar to "jee"). This character is used in medical and pharmaceutical contexts, such as in the word "藥劑" meaning "pharmaceutical preparation," and it also appears in compounds related to formulation or dosage, like "劑量" for "dosage." Historically, its form reflects the concept of precisely cutting or measuring components, which aligns with its modern applications in healthcare and chemistry.
