U+6311 "挑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
挑
U+6311 "挑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries meanings related to selecting, picking, or carrying on a pole, such as in the verbs "挑選" (to choose) or "挑擔" (to carry a load on a shoulder pole). It is composed of the radical "扌" (hand) on the left, indicating manual action, and the phonetic component "兆" on the right, which suggests the sound "tiǎo" or "tiāo" in Mandarin. This character appears frequently in everyday Chinese writing and also functions in compound words like "挑戰" (challenge) and "挑剔" (to be picky). Part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, it encodes a core element of the shared Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
