U+639F "掟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
掟
U+639F "掟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the character 扔, meaning to throw or to cast, though it also carries distinct meanings in different contexts. In Cantonese usage, it specifically means "to throw" or "to fling," often appearing in colloquial expressions like 掟彎 (to make a sharp turn). In Japanese, the character is read as "chō" or "tei" and can mean a rule, law, or regulation, as seen in compounds like 掟法 (regulation) or 掟破り (rule breaking). This dual semantic range highlights how the character has evolved divergent meanings across languages while retaining its structural identity within the CJK unified ideograph system.
