U+6435 "搵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

搵

U+6435 "搵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily used in Cantonese, where it commonly conveys the meaning of "to look for" or "to search." In Mandarin, however, this character has a different set of meanings, often associated with the action of applying pressure or rubbing, such as in the phrase "搵毛巾" meaning to wring a towel. The character is composed of the hand radical (扌) on the left, indicating manual action, and the phonetic component "温" (wēn) on the right. Its usage is most prominent in Cantonese colloquial expressions, like "搵工" (to look for a job) or "搵食" (to earn a living), reflecting its practical role in everyday language. Beyond its linguistic function, the character also appears in classical Chinese literature and historical texts, where it sometimes denotes the idea of pressing or soaking.
