U+64AE "撮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
撮
U+64AE "撮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily pronounced zuǒ in Mandarin, though it can also be read as cuō or cuò depending on context. It is composed of the radical for hand or action (扌) combined with the phonetic component 最, and its core meanings include to pick up, to gather together, to take a pinch of, or to summarize. In Chinese, it is commonly used in words like 撮合 (to act as a matchmaker or mediate), 一撮 (a pinch or small amount), and 摄影 (photography, where it implies capturing an image). The character also appears in Japanese and Korean hanja usage, similarly conveying ideas of grasping or compiling, and it plays a role in historical and literary texts as a verb for collecting or condensing information.
