Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+722D "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of "to contend," "to struggle," or "to vie for something," often conveying a sense of competition or dispute. Its structure combines the radical for "claw" or "hand" (爫) with elements suggesting pulling or striving, reflecting its historical use in contexts of conflict or rivalry. In modern usage, this character appears in words like 爭取 (to strive for) and 爭執 (to quarrel), preserving its core meaning of active opposition or endeavor across both written Chinese and Japanese, where it is also used in the same sense.
