U+63FE "揾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
揾
U+63FE "揾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to press down" or "to wipe," with its usage varying across regional dialects. In Cantonese, it carries a common meaning of "to find" or "to look for," as seen in the phrase "揾工" meaning to seek employment. Historically, the character is composed of the radical for hand (扌) and the phonetic component 昷, reflecting its manual action origins. It appears in classical texts and remains in modern use, particularly in Cantonese media and informal writing, distinguishing it from Mandarin equivalents like 找 for "to find."
