U+7EDD "绝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
绝
U+7EDD "绝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (simplified form) that carries the core meanings of "to cut off," "to sever," "to break off," or "extreme." It appears in words like "绝对" (juéduì, meaning "absolute") and "拒绝" (jùjué, meaning "to refuse"), and its traditional variant is U+7D55 "絕." In composition, it often conveys the idea of interruption or finality, derived from its radical 纟 (silk thread) and phonetic component 色 (sè), historically suggesting the breaking of a silk thread. This character is widely used in modern Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it retains similar semantic nuances.
