U+52FE "勾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+52FE "勾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the core meanings of "to hook," "to entice," or "to cancel," as well as being used as a measure word for hooks or curved objects. In its composition, it combines the radical for "wrap" or "enclose" with the phonetic component "冖" to suggest a pulling or curving action. Historically, the character has been used in classical texts to denote a hook on a weapon or tool, and it appears in modern contexts such as mathematics where it refers to the shorter leg of a right triangle in the Gougu theorem, which is the Chinese equivalent of the Pythagorean theorem. It also commonly appears in everyday Chinese in words like "勾起" meaning "to arouse" or "勾搭" meaning "to collude," reflecting its versatile role in both literal and figurative expression.
