U+629F "抟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+629F "抟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to form, mold, or shape something with the hands, often associated with kneading or rolling into a ball, such as in the making of traditional dumplings or pills. In classical texts like the Dao De Jing, it appears in the phrase "抟气致柔" (molding the breath to achieve softness), reflecting its use in Daoist meditation and body-mind cultivation. The character combines the hand radical (扌) with the phonetic component "专" (zhuān, meaning special or expert), and in modern contexts it can also indicate gathering or moving something in a circular motion. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoding a shared written tradition across East Asian languages.
