U+9243 "鉃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9243 "鉃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Han character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, historically recorded in classical Chinese texts but seldom used in modern writing. Its structure combines the radical for metal or gold (钅) on the left with the component "矢" (meaning arrow) on the right, and it is sometimes interpreted as a variant of other characters related to metalwork or arrowheads. Due to its extreme rarity, standard Unicode databases and dictionaries often lack a definitive common meaning, with some references suggesting it may have denoted a type of metal tool or a phonetic loan in ancient usage. This character primarily appears in historical or specialized linguistic contexts, such as in the Kangxi Dictionary or older encyclopedic works, rather than in contemporary typography.
