Unicode Version 17.0

播

U+64AD "播" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to sow, to broadcast, or to spread, reflecting its agricultural roots in scattering seeds and its extended use in modern contexts like radio and television broadcasting. Composed of the radical 扌 (hand) and the phonetic component 番, it visually conveys the action of manipulating seeds by hand, while its semantic range encompasses the dissemination of information, cultivation, and propagation in both literal and metaphorical senses. This character is integral to everyday vocabulary in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, appearing in words for broadcasters, podcasting, and farming, and it embodies a blend of physical action and abstract cultural transmission across East Asian languages.
