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.
