U+62DD "拝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+62DD "拝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character and a variant of the more common character "拜", which primarily means "to bow," "to worship," or "to pay respects." In Japanese, this simplified form is used as the standard character for the same meanings, frequently appearing in compounds related to religious reverence such as "拝む" (ogamu, to worship or pray) and "拝啓" (haikei, a formal letter salutation). Its structure combines elements associated with hands or action, reflecting the physical gesture of bowing in respect. Thus, U+62DD represents a culturally significant symbol of deference and ritual practice in East Asian traditions.
