U+6493 "撓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6493 "撓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to scratching, scraping, or disturbing, often appearing in words like "撓癢" meaning to scratch an itch, or "阻撓" meaning to obstruct or hinder. It is composed of the radical for hand (扌) on the left, indicating manual action, and the phonetic component "堯" on the right, which also contributes to its pronunciation as "náo" or "rào" in Mandarin depending on context. Historically, this character has been used in classical Chinese texts to depict physical agitation or rhetorical obstruction, and it remains in common use in modern written Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese (in which it also offers the reading "mageru" for bending or distorting).
