U+6299 "抙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6299 "抙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily represents the action of "to beat" or "to strike," though it also carries an alternative reading and meaning related to "to hold" or "to grasp." This character belongs to the Kangxi radical 64 (手, meaning "hand") and contains 8 strokes in its standard form. In modern Chinese, it is considered a variant or less common form of the character 捧 (pěng, "to hold up in both hands") and is rarely used in contemporary writing, appearing mainly in historical texts or specialized contexts. Its usage is further complicated by regional variations, as it can also be a variant of 抪 (pū, "to spread out" or "to beat") in some dictionaries, reflecting the fluid nature of ancient Chinese character forms.
