U+6385 "掅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6385 "掅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character primarily found in classical texts and historical dictionaries, where its meaning is often glossed as "to lift" or "to raise," though it can also carry the sense of "to grab" or "to snatch" depending on the context. It is composed of the radical 手 (hand) on the left, indicating an action performed with the hand, and the phonetic component 青 (qīng) on the right, which gives a clue to its historical pronunciation. This character is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, and its usage is largely confined to specialized academic contexts, such as the study of ancient literature or lexicography. Unicode includes it as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block to support the digital preservation of historical and regional scripts.
