U+629E "択" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+629E "択" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that primarily conveys the meaning of "choose," "select," or "pick." It is a simplified form used in Japanese writing, corresponding to the traditional Chinese character "擇" (zé) in standard Chinese, though in modern Simplified Chinese the equivalent character is "择." The character is composed of the radical for hand or action (扌 on the left) combined with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to the physical act of selection. In Japanese, it frequently appears in words such as 選択 (sentaku, meaning "choice" or "selection") and is a common element in both everyday vocabulary and technical contexts like computing or decision-making processes.
