U+627C "扼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
扼
U+627C "扼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to grip," "to seize," or "to clutch," often with the connotation of holding tightly or strangling. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action involving the hand, and the phonetic component 厄 on the right, which hints at the character’s pronunciation of “è” in Mandarin. In classical and modern usage, it appears in words like 扼杀 (to strangle or to suppress) and 扼守 (to hold or guard a strategic point), reflecting both physical and metaphorical senses of control or obstruction. This character is an integral part of written Chinese and is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode Standard.
