U+722F "爯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
爯
U+722F "爯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or archaic Chinese character that historically conveys the meaning of "to lift" or "to raise," often encountered in classical texts or ancient inscriptions. It is composed of the radical for "claw" or "hand" (爫) over a component that may suggest grasping or elevating, reflecting its semantic link to lifting something upward. While not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese vocabulary, it remains a component in some scholarly contexts, particularly in the study of oracle bone script or pre-Qin literature, where it appears as a variant or predecessor of more common characters like 稱 (to call, to weigh).
