U+784E "硎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
硎
U+784E "硎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally refers to a whetstone or a grindstone used for sharpening tools and blades. In classical texts, it appears in the phrase "硎礪" to describe the process of honing, and it also carries literary significance from the idiom "刀刃若新發於硎," which describes a blade as sharp as if freshly honed on a whetstone. This character is composed of the radical for stone (石) and the phonetic component "刑," and it is used primarily in historical or formal contexts rather than in everyday modern Chinese language.
