刃 variant

31/542

刃 reads as 刃, the Han character used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing for a blade or cutting edge. Its separate code preserves a Taiwan-standard glyph distinction, but Unicode normalization can fold it back into 刃.

Text symbol

What 刃 means

It means 刃, not a separate word.

Traditional analysis explains 刃 as 刀 (“knife”) marked with a dot at the cutting edge. This code preserves Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 entry T6-2138 during round-trip conversion—turning text into Unicode and back without losing its source character choice.

A legacy-text form; ordinary writing uses 刃.

Does normalization keep 刃’s exact form?

No. NFC, NFD, NFKC, and NFKD all map it to 刃. The standardized sequence 刃︀ (刃 plus VS1) requests the variant glyph.
