U+639A "掚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
掚
U+639A "掚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely archaic Chinese character that appears in historical texts and dictionaries, primarily functioning as a variant or alternative form of the character 兩 or 两, meaning "two" or "both" in Classical Chinese. It is composed of the hand/action radical 扌 on the left, combined with a phonetic component related to the idea of pairing, and its usage is documented in contexts such as ancient scripts, calligraphy, or specialized linguistic databases where variant glyphs are cataloged for the study of Chinese writing evolution. In modern Chinese, it is not commonly used in everyday language, making it a niche entry within the Unicode standard for preserving historical script diversity.
