摩

U+6469 "摩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to rub," "to grind," or "to polish," and it also conveys the sense of "to touch" or "to stroke." It is composed of the radical for "hand" combined with phonetic and semantic elements that suggest friction or contact. This character is widely used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, appearing in important words like "摩擦" meaning "friction" in Chinese, and "摩天楼" meaning "skyscraper" in Japanese. In philosophical and religious contexts, it can be found in terms such as "摩耶" referring to Maya in Buddhism, and it is also a key component in the name of the classic Chinese novel "西游记" (Journey to the West) where the main character Sun Wukong is sometimes called "美猴王" but also associated with "摩" in certain translations. Overall, U+6469 represents a fundamental concept of contact and physical interaction across multiple cultures and disciplines.
