U+63D6 "揖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+63D6 "揖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to bow with hands clasped" or "to make a respectful salute," a gesture traditionally performed by bringing the hands together in front of the chest and slightly bowing the head. It appears in classical texts and modern Chinese as a marker of courtesy and deference, often in contexts of greeting, thanking, or apologizing. The character combines the hand radical (扌) on the left, indicating an action performed with the hands, with the phonetic component (咠) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "yī" in Mandarin.
