砲

U+7832 "砲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally represents a cannon, firearm, or artillery piece, and is composed of the radical for stone on the left and the phonetic component 包 on the right, reflecting its historical origins as a stone-throwing weapon before the advent of gunpowder. In modern usage, it can refer to various types of ordnance, such as in the term 砲台 meaning fortress gun emplacement, and it is closely related to the simplified character 炮, which shares the same meaning in contemporary Chinese texts. This character appears in several East Asian languages, including Japanese (where it is also pronounced "hō") and Korean, and is found in historical documents and technical contexts related to military technology.
