手 Hand (Kangxi 64)

Rarer in this ranking, but still part of the 2,608-character published set.

More common than 倭 (Yamato), less common than 撒 (Scatter).

A hand on the left grabs near a mouth and sword on the right — the hand snatches someone at swordpoint, a mouth screaming as the kidnapping unfolds.
