U+9527 "锧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
锧
U+9527 "锧" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of ancient execution tool, specifically a wooden or iron block used for beheading, similar to a chopping block or anvil. It is composed of the metal radical "钅" on the left and the phonetic component "质" on the right, giving it the meaning of a heavy, blade-receiving instrument. Historically, this character appears in classical texts describing penal practices, and in modern usage it is rare, often only encountered in historical or literary contexts.
