U+64AB "撫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
撫
U+64AB "撫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to comfort," "to console," "to soothe," or "to caress" and is also used in the sense of "to stroke" or "to pat gently." It appears in various East Asian languages that use Chinese characters, including Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar semantic nuances. In classical Chinese texts, the character often conveys a nurturing or calming action, such as in the phrase 撫慰 (fǔwèi), meaning to placate or reassure someone. The character is composed of the radical 手 (hand) on the left, indicating an action performed by the hand, and the phonetic component 無 (wú) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "fǔ."
