U+64C2 "擂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
擂
U+64C2 "擂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to beat," "to pound," or "to strike," often used in the context of drumming or grinding. It is commonly found in compounds such as "擂鼓" meaning to beat a drum, and "擂臺" meaning a martial arts arena or challenge platform. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is used across both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, though its form remains consistent. Visually, it combines the hand radical "扌" on the left, indicating hand-related action, with the phonetic component "雷" on the right, which also contributes the meaning of thunder, evoking the loud, percussive nature of the action it describes.
