Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+6488 "撈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to fish up" or "to dredge," often conveying the action of scooping or retrieving something from water. It is composed of the radical 扌 (hand) on the left, indicating a manual action, and the component 勞 (labor or toil) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "lao" in Mandarin. In modern usage, this character appears in words like 撈魚 (to catch fish) or 打撈 (salvaging or dredging), and it can also metaphorically imply gaining profit or benefit, sometimes with a negative connotation in slang such as 撈偏門 (to make money through shady means).
