U+63AE "掮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
掮
U+63AE "掮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to carry or shoulder a burden, often with the implication of using a pole or stick to bear weight on one's shoulder. It is composed of the radical for hand or action on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, and it appears in contexts related to physical labor, such as carrying goods or supporting loads. While not among the most common characters in modern Chinese, it remains relevant in literary or formal descriptions of manual transport and occasionally appears in compound terms like "掮客," which refers to a broker or middleman, metaphorically extending the idea of bearing responsibility or acting as an intermediary.
