U+634B "捋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+634B "捋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to stroke, smooth, or rub something with the hand, often used in the context of stroking a beard or smoothing feathers. It also carries the extended meaning of to pluck or to gather, particularly when referring to pulling out or collecting something like leaves or fibers. Structurally, the character is composed of the hand radical on the left (扌) to indicate an action, and the phonetic component 寽 (lǜ or liè) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In modern usage, it is commonly found in phrases such as 捋胡子 (to stroke one's beard) or 捋袖子 (to roll up one's sleeves). The character appears in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese scripts and has historical roots in classical texts, where it described manual actions of sorting or handling objects.
