U+63E9 "揩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+63E9 "揩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to wipe, rub, or clean, often by applying pressure with a cloth or the hand. It is composed of the radical for hand or action on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its origin in the logographic writing system used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In modern usage, it appears in words such as "揩油" (to take advantage or literally to wipe oil) and "揩汗" (to wipe sweat), illustrating its practical connection to physical cleaning or metaphorical notions of petty exploitation.
