U+91D1 "金" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
金
U+91D1 "金" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental logograph in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it represents the concept of "gold" or "metal." Its meaning extends beyond the literal metal to symbolize value, wealth, and brilliance, and it frequently appears as a radical in other characters related to metallic or shiny objects. The character is composed of a roof-like top over a lower component suggesting earth or a container, with its historical form originating from ancient bronze script, where it depicted a covered crucible holding molten metal. In modern usage, it is a common surname in Chinese culture and is integral to words for money, currency, and seasons like "autumn" in Japanese (kane).
