U+6535 "攵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
攵
U+6535 "攵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese radical and character component known as the "rap" or "whip" radical, often referred to as "攵" (pū) in modern contexts. It originates from the ancient form of a hand holding a stick or rod, symbolizing an action of striking or tapping. In Standard Mandarin, it is pronounced as "pū" or occasionally "bù," and it primarily appears as a semantic component in characters related to hitting, correcting, or imposing order, such as in "改" (to change) or "放" (to release). While seldom used as an independent character in modern Chinese, it retains significance in the writing system as a radical in the Kangxi dictionary.
