U+97AD "鞭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+97AD "鞭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "whip" or "lash," referring to a flexible implement used for striking or urging animals forward, and it also carries extended meanings such as "to flog" or "a鞭 (a type of weapon or tool)." In classical and modern Chinese, this character appears in compounds like "鞭子" (whip or whip-like object), "鞭炮" (firecrackers, literally "whip-cannon" from their crackling sound), and "鞭策" (to spur on or urge, metaphorically using a whip to motivate). The character is composed of the radical 革 (leather) on the left, indicating its material association with leather or hide, and the phonetic component 便 on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (biān in Mandarin). It is a commonly used character in both literary and everyday contexts, reflecting physical objects as well as figurative notions of discipline, drive, or punishment.
