U+577C "坼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
坼
U+577C "坼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to crack, split, or break open, often used in classical and literary contexts to describe the fissuring of earth or other surfaces. It is composed of the radical "土" (earth) on the left and the phonetic component "斥" on the right, reflecting its connection to ground and rupture. This character appears in ancient texts and idioms, such as in the phrase "天坼地裂" (the sky splits and the earth cracks), evoking dramatic natural events or intense emotional upheaval. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is used across these languages with similar meanings, though its frequency of use in modern writing is relatively low.
