廾

It represents the act of supporting or lifting something with both hands.

It also shares the meaning of “to clasp hands” or “to fold arms”, as seen in the character 拱 (to clasp arms).

The character’s origin is a pictograph depicting two hands clasped together and raised to support or hold something.

Although it is a different character from 卄 (which means “twenty”), it is called “Twenty Hands” or “Twenty Hand Radical” for convenience due to the similarity in form.

When used as a radical, it generally conveys meanings related to holding or supporting with both hands.
