U+52FF "勿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

勿

U+52FF "勿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a prohibitive adverb meaning "do not" or "must not," often carrying a sense of strong warning or negation in classical and modern Chinese texts. Its form is derived from an ancient pictograph depicting a knife or blade with a slash, symbolizing the cutting off or forbidding of an action. In compound words and phrases, such as "勿忘" (do not forget) or "切勿" (be sure not to), it retains this imperative tone, and it also appears in Japanese and Korean as a kanji or hanja with similar meanings. As a standard component of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is encoded for consistent representation across digital systems handling East Asian scripts.
