U+69CD "槍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
槍
U+69CD "槍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "spear" or "lance" and is also commonly used in modern contexts to denote a "gun" or "rifle." In East Asian scripts, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, this ideograph represents a long weapon with a pointed tip, and its semantic extension from a handheld polearm to a firearm reflects historical changes in warfare technology. The character is composed of the "wood" radical on the left, hinting at its original wooden shaft, and the phonetic component "倉" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation.
