U+792E "礮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
礮
U+792E "礮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that represents an ancient type of stone-throwing siege weapon, similar to a catapult or trebuchet. Composed of the radical 石 (meaning "stone") and the phonetic component 馬 (meaning "horse"), its structure reflects both the material used for projectiles and the powerful, horse-drawn mobilization typical of such military machines in early Chinese warfare. Found predominantly in classical texts and historical records of weaponry, this character is considered obsolete in modern standard Chinese, having been largely replaced by the more common character 砲, which later also came to denote cannon and artillery.
