U+62DB "招" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
招
U+62DB "招" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to beckon" or "to recruit," and it is commonly used in words such as "招呼" (to call or greet) and "招聘" (job recruitment). This ideograph consists of the radical 手 (hand) on the left, suggesting an action involving the hand, and the phonetic component 召 on the right, which contributes the sound "zhao." Beyond its literal sense of summoning someone with a gesture, the character also carries extended meanings like "to provoke" or "to incur," as seen in phrases such as "招麻烦" (to invite trouble), making it a versatile and frequently used character in both formal and informal Chinese contexts.
