U+6399 "掙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
掙
U+6399 "掙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to struggle" or "to strive," often used in contexts like "掙扎" (to struggle physically or emotionally) and "掙錢" (to earn money by working hard). It is composed of the radical "扌" (hand) on the left, suggesting manual action, and the phonetic component "爭" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In traditional Chinese writing, this character appears as "掙," while its simplified counterpart is "挣," though both share the same core meanings related to effort, exertion, or gaining through labor.
