U+9242 "鉂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鉂
U+9242 "鉂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character used primarily in archaic or specialized contexts, often associated with meanings related to metals or tools, given its "金" (gold/metal) radical on the left. It is not commonly found in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean usage, and its exact definition remains obscure in many contemporary dictionaries, sometimes glossed as a type of ornamental or ceremonial metal implement. This character exemplifies the vast set of rarely used CJK characters that survive in historical texts, name records, or technical terminology, representing a legacy of East Asian script development rather than a living part of everyday writing.
