Character Story & Explanation
摮 (áo) means to hit, strike, or smite. It depicts a hand (攵) striking an object (敖). Rarely used alone, it appears in classical texts or poetic contexts, conveying forceful impact. Unlike Western equivalents like 'smite' (often divine), 摮 has a more physical, mundane sense.
