U+633E "挾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+633E "挾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to hold under the arm," "to coerce or force," or "to harbor (e.g., resentment)" in modern usage. Historically, it also carries connotations of pressing or grasping from both sides, and it appears in classical texts as a component in words related to control or duress, such as the compound "要挾" meaning "to coerce" or "to blackmail." The character is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action performed with the hand, and the phonetic component 夾 (meaning "to press from both sides") on the right, which contributes to both its sound and its semantic nuance of squeezing or forcing.
