What 彫 means
It describes carving a pattern. The Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, completed around 100 CE, records that early sense. It analyzes 彫 as 彡 (decorative strokes) plus 周, which signals the sound. In literary Chinese, 彫 can also mean “wither” or “fall,” as does 凋.
Its readings are diāo in Mandarin, chō or horu in Japanese, and jo (조) in Korean Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean).

Use 彫︀. Unicode normalization may replace 彫 with 彫; this sequence (彫 followed by UFE00, the variation selector) preserves the variant distinction.
