Source: Browser Default
U+5235 "刵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to the ancient punishment of cutting off the ears, a form of corporal penalty in early Chinese legal codes. It is composed of the radical 刀 (knife or sword) on the right, indicating an action of cutting, and the phonetic component 耳 (ear) on the left, which also provides semantic context for the body part involved. This character appears in classical texts documenting legal and ritual practices, and while it is rarely used in modern Chinese, it remains a part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set, preserving a lexical link to historical forms of punishment.
