U+6517 "攗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
攗
U+6517 "攗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block in Unicode. Its primary meaning relates to "water chestnut" or a type of aquatic plant, known in traditional Chinese lexicons such as the Kangxi Dictionary. The character is composed of the radical "手" or "扌" (hand) on the left side, suggesting a connection to manual action or manipulation, combined with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation. In modern usage, "攗" is considered obscure and is largely found in classical texts or specialized botanical references rather than in everyday language.
