U+920E "鈎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+920E "鈎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji and hanzi character that primarily represents the concept of a "hook" or "hook-shaped object", often referencing a fishhook, a grappling hook, or a curved implement used for catching or suspending items. In written Chinese and Japanese, it appears in compound words such as "釣り鈎" (tsuribari, meaning fishhook) and carries extended metaphorical meanings related to entanglement, attraction, or drawing something in. Historically, the character derives from the metal radical "金" (gold or metal) combined with the phonetic component "句" (sentence or curve), emphasizing its connection to curved metallic tools. Its usage spans various contexts, from everyday vocabulary to classical literature, and it is commonly seen in both traditional and simplified character forms, though the simplified version is written as "钩".
