U+82C5 "苅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

苅

U+82C5 "苅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is also used in Japanese and Korean contexts, representing a grass radical combined with a phonetic component that suggests cutting or mowing, as it is often defined to mean "to mow," "to cut down grass," or "to reap." This character is a variant or simplification of the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character "刈," which shares the same core meaning and pronunciation in various East Asian languages, such as Mandarin Chinese where it is read as yì or Japanese where it is read as kari or karu. In modern usage, "苅" is less common in mainland China but appears in traditional texts, Japanese personal names, and place names, where it sometimes functions as a specific glyph for the act of harvesting or trimming vegetation, reflecting its historical role in agricultural and literary contexts.
