U+8040 "聀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
聀
U+8040 "聀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of "to cut" or "to pare," often associated with the action of using a knife or blade to trim or slice something. It is composed of the radical "耳" (ear) on the left and "戈" (spear) on the right, though its exact historical usage and meaning have been largely obscure, with limited attestation in classical texts. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block and is not commonly used in modern writing, making it a point of interest for linguists and those studying ancient Chinese script rather than a standard element of everyday language.
