Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+63A4 "掤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the martial arts concept of "warding off" or "deflecting" force, originating from the internal art of Tai Chi, where it describes a specific circular, expansive movement used to redirect an opponent's energy. In its broader classical usage, it can mean to support, hold up, or draw a bow to its full extent, reflecting a sense of outward expansion or stretching. This character is composed of the hand or action radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and it typically appears in historical texts on Chinese philosophy and martial theory, rather than in modern everyday vocabulary.
