U+5F6B "彫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5F6B "彫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to engrave," "to carve," or "to chisel," often associated with intricate decorative work on materials such as wood, stone, or metal. This ideograph also carries extended meanings related to embellishment or the act of sculpting, and it appears in compound words like "彫刻" (chōkoku in Japanese, meaning sculpture) and "彫塑" (diao su in Chinese). In traditional East Asian art, this character is central to describing techniques of detailed carving seen in temple ornamentation or seal engraving. Its structure combines the radical for "fur" or "hair" (彡) on the right, suggesting decorative patterns, with a left component that provides phonetic cues, linking visual artistry to the act of shaping and refining surfaces.
