U+5293 "劓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5293 "劓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to the ancient punishment of cutting off the nose, one of the five major mutilation penalties in traditional Chinese legal codes, known as "yi" in Mandarin. This ideograph combines the radical for "knife" or "cutting" on the right with a component on the left that suggests the nose or facial area, visually representing the act of removing part of the face. In modern usage, the character is largely archaic and appears primarily in historical texts, literature, or discussions of ancient Chinese law and punishment, rather than in everyday contemporary writing. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures digital preservation and accurate representation of this culturally and historically significant glyph across electronic systems.
