U+805D "聝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+805D "聝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in classical contexts, where it depicts the act of severing an enemy's left ear as a battle trophy in ancient warfare, a practice for counting kills and rewarding warriors. Structurally, it combines the radical for "ear" (耳) with the phonetic component " or "戈" (spear or dagger), visually linking the idea of the ear to combat. While considered a historical or literary character in modern Chinese, it occasionally appears in historical texts, names, or specialized discussions of ancient military customs, and it is represented in the Unicode standard to preserve its cultural and linguistic significance.
