U+2E98 "⺘" CJK Radical Hand Unicode Character

U+2E98 "⺘" CJK Radical Hand is a variant of the radical for "hand" used primarily in the Chinese writing system, where it serves as the foundational component for characters related to actions involving the hand, such as hitting, holding, or manipulating objects. In modern typography, it is distinct from the full character "手" (hand), appearing as a compressed, stylized form that typically occupies a side position in compound characters, like in "打" (hit) or "推" (push). This radical is essential for understanding the semantic category of numerous CJK characters, linking them to manual or tactile concepts, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard to support accurate digital representation and rendering across different scripts and languages.
