U+621F "戟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
戟
U+621F "戟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents an ancient type of polearm or halberd, a weapon combining a spear tip with a crescent shaped blade, historically used in East Asian warfare. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "spear" or "lance" (戈) and additional components that suggest a halberd like armament, and it appears in classical Chinese texts as both a noun for the weapon and a verb meaning to stab or strike. In modern usage, while the weapon itself is obsolete, the character retains cultural significance in literature, art, and historical contexts, often symbolizing martial prowess or military authority.
