U+6318 "挘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6318 "挘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and relatively obscure Han character, primarily used in Japanese contexts where it is most commonly read as "hagiru" or "mujiru" and means to tear off, pull off, or strip away something. This character is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left side, indicating an action performed with the hand, and the phonetic component 劣 (meaning inferior or poor quality) on the right, which contributes to its sound in some readings. It is not part of the standard set of frequently used kanji in modern Japanese, nor is it a common character in Chinese, though it may appear in specialized or historical texts. As a result, its usage is very limited, and it is often not supported by many fonts or input systems, making it primarily of interest to Unicode enthusiasts or scholars of rare CJK characters.
