U+62F6 "拶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
拶
U+62F6 "拶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of ancient torture device or method, specifically a squeezing instrument used for pressing the fingers, often employed as an interrogative tool in traditional East Asian judicial practices. In modern usage, it can also denote the action of pressing or squeezing something tightly. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block and is pronounced as "zǎn" in Mandarin, though it may carry different readings in Japanese and Korean contexts. Its structure combines the hand radical (扌) on the left with a phonetic component, reflecting its physical and action-oriented meanings.
