U+7D76 "絶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

絶

U+7D76 "絶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to cut off," "to sever," or "to break off," and by extension conveys concepts of "extreme," "absolute," or "desperate" depending on context. It is composed of the radical for silk or thread (糸) on the left, often simplified as 糹 in some fonts, and the phonetic component 色 on the right, which together suggest the image of cutting threads. This character is used across multiple East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it appears in words such as 絶望 (zetsubō, "despair") in Japanese and 絕對 (juéduì, "absolute") in Chinese. In Unicode, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is encoded as a single character representing a traditional form, with a simplified version 绝 (U+7EDD) used in mainland China.
