U+98B3 "颳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+98B3 "颳" CJK Unified Ideograph is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to blow" as in wind, specifically referring to a gust of wind striking or sweeping across something. It is composed of the radical for "wind" (風) on the left side, which provides the semantic clue, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation as "gua" in Mandarin. Unlike its simplified counterpart "刮," which can also mean "to scrape" or "to shave," the character "颳" is used almost exclusively in contexts involving wind or air movement, such as in the phrase "颳風" (guāfēng) meaning "the wind blows." This distinction preserves the character's specialized meaning in traditional writing systems, particularly in regions like Taiwan and Hong Kong, where traditional characters remain in standard use.
