U+520B "刋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+520B "刋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 18, which represents a knife or cutting tool, and it typically functions as a variant form of the more common character "刊" (U+520A), meaning to cut, carve, or publish. Historically, "刋" has been used in classical texts and certain regional scripts, though in modern standard Chinese, it is largely considered an archaic or alternative glyph for "刊," appearing primarily in specialized contexts such as ancient literature or traditional calligraphy. Its Unicode inclusion ensures that digital systems can accurately represent and preserve this variant shape for linguistic and historical research.
