U+52B8 "劸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
劸
U+52B8 "劸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character found in the classical Kangxi Dictionary, composed of the semantic radical "力" (meaning strength or power) on the left and the phonetic component "垔" (yīn) on the right. Its traditional definition is to press down or to suppress by force, often conveying a sense of using power to crush or overwhelm something. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, and its appearance in digital text is primarily for historical, lexicographic, or academic purposes rather than everyday communication.
