U+7834 "破" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

破

U+7834 "破" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to break," "to damage," or "to destroy," often conveying the idea of something being split apart or rendered ineffective. It is composed of the radical "石" (stone) on the left, suggesting a physical or solid basis, and the phonetic component "皮" (skin) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "pò." This character appears in a wide range of contexts, from everyday vocabulary like "破壞" (pòhuài, to destroy) and "破碎" (pòsuì, broken to pieces) to more abstract uses such as "破例" (pòlì, to break a rule) or "破曉" (pòxiǎo, daybreak). Historically, its form has evolved from ancient Chinese script, where it originally depicted striking a stone, symbolizing the act of breaking or shattering. As a core component of the Chinese writing system, "破" remains essential for expressing concepts of rupture, defeat, or overcoming obstacles in both literal and figurative language.
