U+6434 "搴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

搴

U+6434 "搴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to take" or "to pick up" and is associated with the action of lifting or plucking, often with a specific focus on grasping something like a flag or banner. It is a relatively uncommon character in modern standard Chinese, but it appears in classical literary texts and historical contexts. The character is composed of the radical for hand or action, 手 (or its variant 扌), combined with a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is qiān. In addition to its concrete meaning, "搴" can also carry a metaphorical sense of superiority or leadership, as seen in phrases like "搴旗" meaning to capture a flag in battle, symbolizing victory or command.
