U+6389 "掉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
掉
U+6389 "掉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to fall," "to drop," or "to shed," and is commonly used in modern Mandarin Chinese in both literal and figurative contexts. It can appear in words like "丢掉" meaning "to throw away" or "掉色" meaning "to fade" or "lose color," indicating a sense of removal, descent, or loss. The character’s structure combines the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, suggesting manual action, with the phonetic component 卓, though its pronunciation "diào" has shifted from the original. Overall, it serves as a versatile verb describing downward movement, unintentional falling, or deliberate discarding.
