Unicode Version 17.0
掫
U+63AB "掫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally meaning to hold up, raise, or gather in one's hands, and it also carries an ancient regional sense referring to a nightly watchman's rounds or the act of patrolling and beating the night watches in historical Chinese society. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is composed of the hand radical 扌 on the left and the phonetic component 取 on the right, reflecting its semantic link to manual action. In modern usage, it is considered a rare or archaic character, occasionally appearing in classical texts, place names, or as a component in more complex characters.
