U+6425 "搥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6425 "搥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, primarily meaning "to beat," "to strike," or "to pound," often with a fist or a hammer-like object. This character is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating action related to the hand, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is "chuí." Historically, it appears in classical texts and idioms such as 搥胸頓足 (beating one’s chest and stamping one’s feet) to express extreme grief or frustration. In modern usage, it is less common than its simplified variant 捶, but it still appears in literary, calligraphic, and traditional contexts across East Asian languages.
