CJK compatibility ideograph 2F8BD

揤 encodes 揤, a Chinese character whose historical dictionary senses include “seize” and “wipe.” Its separate code point preserves a Taiwan CNS 11643 source mapping for reversible text conversion.

Text symbol

What 揤 means

It encodes the Chinese character 揤.

The Eastern Han dictionary 說文解字 (Shuowen Jiezi), compiled around 100 CE, glosses 揤 with 捽 (“seize”). The Kangxi Dictionary (1716) also records “wipe.”

Why is 揤 encoded separately?

To preserve a CNS 11643 source code.

CNS 11643 is Taiwan’s national character set; this entry comes from plane 6, code T6-494A. Round-trip conversion sends text back without losing that source code. Normalization—a software step for consistent text—maps 揤 to 揤.
