U+7251 "牑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7251 "牑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historical Chinese character found in classical texts, where it traditionally refers to a thin slice or a piece of wood, often used in the context of carving or slicing in ancient writing. Its structure combines the radical for "piece" or "sliver" with phonetic components, and it appears in older lexicons such as the Kangxi Dictionary, though it is seldom used in modern Chinese or Japanese. Instead, it survives primarily as a specialized or obsolete term in literary or historical contexts, making it a point of interest for scholars studying archaic Chinese script and terminology.
