U+6371 "捱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

捱

U+6371 "捱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of enduring, suffering, or delaying, often used in the context of waiting out a difficult situation or tolerating hardship. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action, and the phonetic component 厓 on the right, contributing to its pronunciation (pronounced ái in Mandarin). This character appears in various East Asian languages, including Chinese and Japanese, where it is associated with the concept of persevering through challenges or postponing an outcome, such as in the phrase 挨饿 (to endure hunger) or 捱日子 (to struggle through days). Its usage is less common in modern simplified Chinese, but it remains a recognized part of traditional character sets for expressing resilience or forced delay.
