U+641C "搜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+641C "搜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to search for," "to seek," or "to look up," and is also used in the context of searching physically or digitally, such as in the common Chinese word "搜索" meaning "search." It is formed as a radical-phonetic compound, with the radical "扌" (hand) indicating an action and the phonetic component "叟" providing the sound, reflecting its origins in Classical Chinese. This character is widely used in modern Chinese, Japanese (as a kokuji or used in terms like "kensaku" for search), and Korean contexts, often appearing in names for search engines or retrieval functions. Its stroke count is 12, and it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode Standard, representing a core part of East Asian writing systems.
