U+63CD "揍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
揍
U+63CD "揍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning "to beat" or "to strike" someone, often with the connotation of hitting repeatedly or thrashing. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) and the phonetic component 奏, indicating both its manual action and sound association. In modern Chinese, it is commonly used in colloquial expressions and contexts involving physical punishment or fighting, but it can also extend metaphorically to describe overcoming difficulties, as in the phrase 揍扁 (zòu biǎn) meaning "to beat flat." This character is also used in Japanese Kanji with a similar meaning and pronunciation, though less frequently in daily modern Japanese.
