U+530A "匊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+530A "匊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily means "to hold in both hands" or "a handful," often conveying the action of cupping or grasping with both hands. It is composed of the radical "勹" (wrap) above and the element "米" (rice) below, suggesting the hands wrapping around grains or food. Historically, this character appears in classical Chinese texts and is used in compound words or as a variant form of related characters like "掬" (jū), which shares the same core meaning of scooping or offering something with cupped hands. In modern usage, it is less common as an independent character but retains significance in literary, calligraphic, and scholarly contexts.
