U+527D "剽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+527D "剽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes the concept of "robbing" or "plundering" by force, and it also carries meanings related to swiftness or agility, as in the term "剽悍" meaning swift and fierce. In its etymology, the character combines the radical for knife or sword (刂) on the right, indicating the use of cutting or forceful action, with a phonetic component on the left. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts to describe banditry or the act of seizing goods, and it continues to be used in modern Mandarin and Japanese, though with less frequency than its synonyms for robbery like "搶". Its Unicode assignment places it within the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a shared script across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
