U+743A "琺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
琺
U+743A "琺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents the concept of "enamel" or "cloisonné," a decorative technique involving vitreous enamel applied to metalwork. This ideograph is composed of the radical for jade or precious stone (王) on the left, indicating its association with fine craftsmanship, and the phonetic component "法" (meaning law or method) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (fǎ in Mandarin). Historically, the character emerged to describe the vibrant, glazed art form introduced to China via cultural exchanges along the Silk Road, and it remains in modern usage to refer to enameled objects, such as those created in the renowned Jingdezhen kilns.
