U+6255 "払" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6255 "払" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in modern Japanese kanji, where it serves as the simplified form of the traditional character 拂. It carries the core meaning of "to brush away," "to pay," or "to clear," as seen in Japanese verbs like 払う (harau). In composition, its left radical is a variant of 手 (てへん, "hand") indicating manual action, while the right component originally derived from 弗 but now appears as a simplified form, giving the character a total of 5 strokes. Though less common in traditional Chinese, it is recognized in Chinese computing and language contexts as a variant form, with its Unicode encoding ensuring digital representation across platforms for text in Far Eastern scripts.
