U+641A "搚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+641A "搚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare historical Han character that appears in classical East Asian texts, primarily used in Chinese and Japanese contexts. Its meaning is related to the concept of "supporting" or "assisting" with the hand, as its radical,手 (hand), suggests a manual action. This character is extremely uncommon in modern usage and is not included in standard modern Chinese or Japanese character sets, making it primarily of interest to scholars studying ancient literature or specialized lexicography. Its exact pronunciation varies across languages, such as "lè" or "xié" in Mandarin, depending on the specific classical text, and it often appears as a variant of more common characters like 拉 or 協.
