U+5851 "塑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
塑
U+5851 "塑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the primary meaning of "model" or "mold" and by extension refers to the act of shaping, forming, or sculpting. It is composed of two main components: the radical "土" (earth or clay) on the bottom and the phonetic element "塑" which guides pronunciation. This character is commonly used in modern Chinese vocabulary, such as in "雕塑" (diāosù) meaning sculpture or to sculpt, and "塑料" (sùliào) meaning plastic, a material that is molded into shape. The glyph represents the process of taking a raw material like clay and pressing or casting it into a desired form, reflecting its deep cultural association with craftsmanship and creation.
