U+780D "砍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
砍
U+780D "砍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to cut," "to chop," or "to hack," often implying a forceful downward motion with a blade or axe, and it is composed of the radical for "stone" (石) on the left and the phonetic component "欠" (qiàn) on the right, suggesting a connection to breaking or splitting hard materials. Used commonly in modern Chinese, it appears in words like "砍柴" (kǎnchái, to chop firewood) and "砍价" (kǎnjià, to bargain or haggle prices, metaphorically "cutting" the cost), reflecting both literal and figurative applications in everyday language.
