U+62C3 "拃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
拃
U+62C3 "拃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of a span or a measure of length, traditionally defined as the distance between the outstretched thumb and middle finger, approximately equivalent to a handspan or about eight inches in older Chinese units. It functions both as a noun for this specific unit of measurement and as a verb meaning to measure something by spanning it with the hand. In modern usage, while the character is less common in daily conversation, it retains cultural and historical significance in contexts related to traditional Chinese measurement systems and is occasionally seen in literary or dialectal expressions.
