U+622D "戭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

戭

U+622D "戭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character meaning "a weapon" or "to strike" with a specific connotation of a long lance or spear, and it is also associated with the concept of "to test" or "to try" in some classical compounds. It is composed of the radical "戈" (halberd or spear) on the right side and the phonetic component "寅" (yin, the third earthly branch) on the left, providing both semantic and phonetic clues to its reading and meaning. In modern usage, this character is extremely rare and is primarily encountered in historical or literary texts, such as classical Chinese poetry or ancient weaponry descriptions, rather than in daily conversation. Its Unicode position in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures its digital representation for scholarly and archival purposes, preserving a niche but culturally significant trace of East Asian linguistic heritage.
