What 掃 means
It preserves a Taiwanese glyph for 掃 in character-set conversion. The character joins hand 扌 and broom 帚. 說文解字, a Chinese character dictionary (c. 100 CE), records related form 埽. “Sweep” also broadened to “clear away.” Its Taiwan source is CNS 11643-1992, plane 6, entry T6-402B.
Technical and archival text; its everyday character is 掃.
Normalization erases the glyph distinction.
