U+657C "敼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+657C "敼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the radical for "strike" or "tap" (攵, pronounced pū), though its overall structure combines the components 豈 (meaning "how" or "an interrogative") and 攵. This character is not found in modern standard Chinese vocabulary and appears primarily in classical or historical texts, where it has been interpreted to convey the idea of beating or striking, often with a sense of questioning or rhetorical force. Due to its obscurity, it lacks a common usage in contemporary writing and is typically of interest only to scholars of ancient Chinese script or those studying obscure variant forms.
