Character Story & Explanation
抦 (bǐng) is a rare Chinese character meaning 'handle' (of a tool or weapon). It is composed of 扌 (hand) and 丙 (third), suggesting something held by hand. Unlike the common 柄 (bǐng) for handle, 抦 is archaic and seldom used in modern Chinese, but appears in classical texts. Its Western equivalent is 'haft' or 'hilt', like a sword handle.
