U+53DB "叛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
叛
U+53DB "叛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to betray" or "to rebel," conveying the concept of turning against an established authority, group, or loyalty. It is composed of two main components: the left side is the radical for "half" (半), which may contribute a phonetic hint, while the right side is the radical for "knife" or "cut" (刂), together evoking the imagery of splitting or severing a relationship or allegiance. This character appears frequently in historical and modern contexts, such as in words meaning "rebellion" (叛逆) or "traitor" (叛徒), and it is used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block.
