U+6BBA "殺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6BBA "殺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to kill" or "to murder," and it also conveys broader concepts of violence, destruction, or eradication in various contexts. This ideograph is used in both Chinese and Japanese scripts where it appears in words related to killing, such as "殺人" (murder) or "殺す" (to kill in Japanese). The character is composed of the radical "殳" (a weapon or striking action) combined with other elements that indicate the act of causing death. Historically, it has been a significant character in legal, literary, and philosophical writings, reflecting humanity's long engagement with themes of life, death, and conflict. Its Unicode inclusion allows for digital representation and global communication across systems that support East Asian scripts.
