U+52AF "劯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+52AF "劯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that typically carries the meaning of a stone or rocky fragment, particularly in the context of a pestle or a tool for pounding, and it is constructed with the radical for "stone" (石) on the left and a phonetic component on the right. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is generally given as "zhǔ" or a similar reading, though the character appears infrequently in modern texts and is largely confined to historical dictionaries or specialized scholarly works on Chinese script. The character falls within the range of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs, which standardize East Asian characters for digital encoding, but it does not have widespread usage in contemporary writing or common vocabulary.
