U+6309 "按" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
按
U+6309 "按" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to press," "to push down," or "according to" in modern Mandarin. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action, and the phonetic component 安 (ān) on the right, which suggests the sound. Beyond its literal sense of applying physical pressure, the character is widely used in compound words such as “按照” (ànzhào, meaning according to) and “按钮” (ànniǔ, meaning button). In classical and contemporary texts, it can also convey the idea of checking or restraining, reflecting its versatile role in the written Chinese language.
