U+63F8 "揸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+63F8 "揸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in Cantonese and some other Chinese dialects, where it denotes the action of grasping or holding something firmly in the hand, such as when clutching a steering wheel or a handful of items. This ideograph is composed of the radical for hand (扌) on the left, which indicates its manual action, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation as "zaa1" in Cantonese or "zhā" in Mandarin. While not among the most common characters in modern standard Mandarin, it remains in active use in informal Cantonese writing and in certain compound words, especially those related to driving or handling objects.
