U+91FC "釼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
釼
U+91FC "釼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character that primarily represents a sword or blade, often associated with the concept of a double-edged weapon or a ceremonial knife. It combines the radical for metal or gold (釒) with a phonetic component suggesting sharpness or cutting, and it appears in classical texts and old calligraphy, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems. In Japanese, it is known as the kokuji or variant character for sword, sometimes linked to the word "ken" or "tsurugi," but its usage remains obscure and largely confined to specialized or antique contexts.
