U+6320 "挠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6320 "挠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to scratch" or "to disturb," often conveying the physical action of lightly scraping the skin with fingernails or the metaphorical sense of troubling or hindering someone. In modern Mandarin, it appears in common words like "抓挠" (to scratch) and "阻挠" (to obstruct or impede), with its structure combining the hand radical (扌) to indicate an action and a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation (nao). Historically, the character has roots in classical texts where it described both literal scratching and figurative interference, reflecting its versatile use across various Chinese dialects and writing systems as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block.
