U+9221 "鈡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鈡
U+9221 "鈡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a bell or a clock, most commonly understood as a variant or traditional form of the character "钟" (zhōng) in modern usage. In classical and historical contexts, it specifically denotes a type of bell used in ancient rituals or timekeeping devices, often associated with metalwork due to its "金" (gold or metal) radical on the left. The character is also employed in Chinese personal names and place names, retaining its phonetic and semantic ties to the concept of sound or time measurement.
