U+52CF "勏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+52CF "勏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin or Japanese. Its meaning is obscure and historically contested, but it is generally understood to relate to the concept of strength or exerting force, often associated with manual labor or pressing down. The character is composed of the radical "力" (strength or power) combined with a phonetic component, and it appears primarily in ancient or classical texts, as well as in some specialized dictionaries and historical name records. Due to its rarity, digital support varies, and it is seldom encountered in everyday writing or typography.
