搊

U+640A "搊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to lift up, to raise, or to pull something from a concealed place, and it is also associated with the action of plucking or picking at a stringed instrument, such as a pipa or zither. This character, composed of the hand radical 扌 on the left and the phonetic component 芻 (chu) on the right, appears in classical Chinese texts and is used in modern contexts like Mandarin vocabulary for "to support" or "to draw out."
