U+6368 "捨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6368 "捨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to discard," "to abandon," or "to give up," and it plays a significant role in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In its structure, the character combines the radical for "hand" or "action" with a phonetic component, reflecting its semantic link to physical or metaphorical acts of relinquishment. This character is notably used in Buddhist contexts, such as the term "捨身" meaning "to sacrifice one's body," and in modern Chinese it appears frequently in compounds like "取捨" for "choice" or "selection." With a long history in classical texts, it remains a standard component of written communication, representing a concept of letting go that is both practical and philosophical in nature.
