U+6391 "掑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6391 "掑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that falls under the radical for hand or action, typically indicating movements or techniques involving the hands. Its exact meaning has become obscure in modern standard Chinese, but historical references suggest it may have been associated with the concept of striking or wielding a weapon, specifically linked to an ancient type of martial or ceremonial comb. Due to its infrequent use outside of specialized classical texts or historical lexicons, the character is not commonly encountered in contemporary writing, where more standardized alternatives are preferred.
