Unicode Version 17.0
捭
U+636D "捭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to open" or "to spread out," and it is often used in classical and modern contexts to describe the act of unfolding, dividing, or manipulating, such as in the compound word "捭阖" (bǎi hé), which refers to strategies of opening and closing, persuasion, or political maneuvering in ancient Chinese rhetoric and philosophy. This character is composed of the hand radical on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic association with manual actions of splitting or handling.
