U+63EF "揯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
揯
U+63EF "揯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to draw tight" or "to pull taut," often associated with stretching a string or cord. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 64 (手, meaning hand) and is typically used in classical or literary contexts rather than in modern everyday Mandarin. The character is composed of the hand radical on the left and the phonetic component 亘 (gèn or gèng) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation in Middle Chinese. While not common in contemporary writing, it may appear in ancient texts or specialized typographic settings where precise descriptions of tension or extension are needed.
