U+7D55 "絕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
絕
U+7D55 "絕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to cut off," "to sever," "to break," or "to exhaust," and it carries connotations of extremity or absoluteness, such as in the word "絕望" (despair) or "絕對" (absolute). Composed of the radical for silk (糸) and a phonetic component, the character's etymology reflects the imagery of cutting a thread, symbolizing an irreversible break or termination. In modern usage, it appears in both literary and everyday contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, often conveying a sense of finality, uniqueness, or high degree, as in "絕佳" (excellent) or "絕技" (unique skill).
