脫

• Physical removal: stripping away coverings (e.g., clothing, armor) or biological shedding (e.g., skin, bark, cicada shells).
• Escape and liberation: breaking free from constraints, confinement, or control; specifically escaping encirclement or fleeing prison.
• Transcendence: the shedding of mundane attachments or worldly constraints.

Primarily an active verb requiring an agent of removal. It may also be used in a resultative sense to describe the state of having been detached or freed.

Implies a rupture or decisive break; it is distinct from actions suggesting a gradual fading or gentle sliding away.

Simplified and Z-variant: 脱 (U+8131). There is no shift in meaning across these forms.

Determine whether the glyph describes the active process of removal or the resulting state of detachment.
