U+636B "捫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
捫
U+636B "捫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to touch" or "to feel with the hand," as in the action of stroking or pressing gently. It appears in written Chinese and classical texts, often used in the compound word "捫心" (mén xīn), which means "to lay a hand on one's heart" as a gesture of self-reflection or conscience. The character is composed of the radical "扌" (hand) on the left, indicating manual action, and the phonetic component "門" (mén, meaning "door") on the right, providing a clue to its pronunciation. Although less common in modern everyday usage, it retains significance in literary and historical contexts across East Asian languages that utilize Chinese characters.
