U+6418 "搘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6418 "搘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) comprised of the radical for hand (扌) on the left and the phonetic component 耆 (qí) on the right, giving it a traditional pronunciation similar to zhī or qí in Mandarin. Its primary meanings include "to prop up," "to support," or "to push against," often used in classical texts to describe the act of using a stick or hand to brace or steady an object. This character appears in historical Chinese literature, such as in descriptions of leaning on a staff or propping open a door, and it is occasionally found in surnames. Although not commonly used in modern everyday writing, it maintains relevance in classical studies, calligraphy, and specialized terminologies, reflecting its practical and physical semantics within the broader CJK unified ideograph set.
