U+5727 "圧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5727 "圧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified as a variant form of the more common character 壓, which means "to press," "to compress," or "pressure." This simplified form, used primarily in Japanese as a shinjitai character, retains the core semantic concept of applying force or weight downward, appearing in words related to physical pressure, coercion, or stress. Its structure combines the radical for "cliff" or "factory" (厂) with a modified element indicating force, reflecting a contracted representation of the traditional character. In modern contexts, it is frequently encountered in Japanese technical and everyday vocabulary, such as in terms for "voltage" (電圧) or "oppression" (圧迫).
