釵
U+91F5 "釵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing that means a hairpin or ornamental clasp, historically crafted from metal and worn in the hair as an accessory. In its original context, the character combines the radical for metal (金) with the component for fork or divergence (叉) to convey the idea of a metal implement with prongs. It appears in classical texts and modern contexts predominantly in East Asian cultural references to traditional attire and personal adornment, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the CJK script system.
