Source: Browser Default
U+639B "掛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character commonly meaning "to hang" or "to suspend," and it also carries extended senses such as "to put up" or "to register." In traditional East Asian usage, it appears in words like "掛ける" (kakeru) in Japanese, meaning to hang, and in Chinese compounds like "掛號" (guàhào) for registration or "掛念" (guàniàn) for worry or concern. The character is composed of the hand radical (扌) on the left, indicating action, and the phonetic component "卦" (guà) on the right, which originally referred to divination symbols, lending it both semantic and phonetic structure. This ideograph is prevalent in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, reflecting a shared cultural heritage across East Asia.
