U+629C "抜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+629C "抜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character used in modern Japanese, where it is commonly read as "nuku" or "nukeru" and generally means to pull out, extract, omit, or slip through. It is a simplified variant of the traditional Chinese character 拔, which carries similar meanings of drawing out or uprooting. In Japanese usage, 抜 often appears in compound words like 抜群 (batsugun, meaning outstanding or exceptional) and 手抜き (tenuki, meaning cutting corners or omission). This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is widely used in everyday Japanese writing, including newspapers, literature, and digital text. Its structure combines the hand radical (扌) with a phonetic element, reflecting its etymological roots in the idea of physically pulling something out.
