U+5C25 "尥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5C25 "尥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in modern Mandarin, defined as a verb meaning to give a backward kick, especially as a horse or mule does with its hind legs. It is composed of the radical "尢" (lame) and the phonetic component "勺" (spoon), though its structure more directly conveys the act of a sudden, forceful rearward movement. This character appears in written Chinese, often in rural or equestrian contexts, but is not among the most frequently used kanji or hanzi. Its stroke count and specific composition reflect its role as a specialized term within the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, where it represents a concrete action associated with animal behavior.
