U+63C9 "揉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
揉
U+63C9 "揉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to rub, knead, or massage, often involving a repetitive pressing or twisting motion with the hands. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating an action performed by the hand, and the phonetic component 柔 (róu, meaning soft or flexible) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and hints at the pliable nature of the material being worked. This character appears in common words such as 揉面 (knead dough) and 按摩 (massage), and its use extends across various contexts in both written and spoken Chinese, reflecting physical manipulation of soft or malleable substances.
