U+5285 "劅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5285 "劅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically means to cut off, sever, or chop, often specifically referring to the punishment of castration or amputation in ancient legal and penal contexts. This character belongs to the knife radical (刂) and appears in classical texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is defined as a form of punishment involving the removal of male genitalia. In modern usage, it is largely obsolete, preserved primarily in specialized historical or linguistic studies of ancient Chinese law and script.
