U+6401 "搁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
搁
U+6401 "搁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to place" or "to put aside" and is often used in the context of setting something down temporarily or delaying an action. In modern Mandarin, it appears in words like "搁置" (to shelve or postpone) and "耽搁" (to delay or hold up), reflecting its practical utility in describing both physical placement and figurative postponement. Pronounced as "gē" in Mandarin, this character is composed of the hand radical 扌 on the left, suggesting an action, and the phonetic component 阁 on the right, which hints at its sound.
