U+9229 "鈩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鈩
U+9229 "鈩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph used in historical or specialized contexts, representing a type of metal or metallic element, often associated with iron or steel production. Its meaning relates to the concept of "furnace" or "hearth" for smelting, derived from the radical 釒 (metal) combined with a phonetic component. The character is considered rare in modern standard Chinese but may appear in classical texts or technical references to metallurgy. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it falls within a range of characters that encode traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, though its usage today is largely archival rather than common.
