U+657D "敽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+657D "敽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in historical and classical texts, primarily in the context of ancient military or ritual actions. This Han ideograph is rarely used in modern standard Chinese but appears in classical literature, often associated with the meaning of "to strike" or "to beat" as part of a ceremonial or martial procedure, such as in the phrase "敽鼓" meaning to beat a drum. Its structure combines the radical "攵" (action or strike) with other elements, reflecting its etymological roots in physical action. Due to its specialized and archaic nature, it is not commonly encountered in everyday writing, but it remains part of the extended CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set for preserving historical and linguistic heritage.
