U+7588 "疈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
疈
U+7588 "疈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in historical and classical Chinese texts, where it represents an ancient term meaning to split, divide, or break apart, often specifically referring to the ritual act of cutting up sacrificial meat. This character is extremely rare in modern usage, appearing primarily in philological studies, dictionaries, and transcriptions of pre-Qin and early medieval documents such as the "Zhouli" or "Shiji." Its composition combines the "knife" radical (刂) with phonetic and semantic elements that signify the action of cleaving, reflecting its role in describing both physical division and ceremonial practices in ancient Chinese culture.
