U+629D "抝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
抝
U+629D "抝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or variant Chinese character primarily used in classical or regional contexts, often associated with the meaning of "to break" or "to twist," similar to the more common character "拗" (ǎo/ào). It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action, and the phonetic component 幼 (yòu, meaning young or small) on the right, suggesting a sound-based derivation. In modern standard Mandarin, "抝" is not widely used and may appear as a historical or calligraphic variant, while in some Japanese contexts it can represent a different character or serve as a non-standard form. Its usage is thus limited to specialized linguistic, literary, or typographical situations.
