U+653B "攻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+653B "攻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji meaning "to attack," "to assault," or "to go on the offensive," frequently appearing in compounds like "攻撃" (kōgeki, meaning attack) in Japanese or "进攻" (jìngōng, meaning to advance or attack) in Chinese. Its structure combines the radical "攵" (wielding a hand with a stick or weapon) on the right, indicating an action, with "工" (work or labor) on the left, suggesting a purposeful or forceful effort. Decomposed by radicals, "攻" is formed by "工" (work) and "攴/攵" (strike or tap) to convey the concept of striking or overcoming through focused effort. This character is a common Sino Japanese vocabulary component and appears in various historical and modern contexts, from military terminology to figurative uses in business or sports, where it denotes proactive strategy or aggression.
