U+94E1 "铡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+94E1 "铡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing a hand-operated fodder chopper or hay cutter, a traditional agricultural tool used to cut straw or hay into small pieces for livestock feed. This character is composed of the metal radical "钅" on the left, indicating its metallic nature, and the phonetic component "则" on the right, which suggests its pronunciation as "zhá" in Mandarin. It is commonly found in historical and rural contexts, as well as in classical literature such as the method of execution by decapitation with a similar device, often referenced in legal and historical documents. In modern usage, "铡" appears in terms like "铡刀" (zhádāo), meaning the blade of such a cutter, and is primarily used in written Chinese to describe agricultural or historical implements.
