Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+624B "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of "hand" and is used across multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is a common radical found in many other characters, often indicating actions or objects related to the hand, such as holding, grasping, or manual tasks. In its historical and calligraphic forms, the character evolved from pictographic origins that visually depicted a human hand with fingers. Today, it appears frequently in everyday vocabulary, from words like "shǒu" in Mandarin meaning hand to compounds such as 手機 (shǒujī) for mobile phone or 手紙 (tegami) in Japanese for letter.
