U+9246 "鉆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9246 "鉆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to bore" or "to drill," relating to the action of piercing or making holes, particularly in metal or wood. It is composed of the "gold" radical on the left, indicating a connection to metal, and the phonetic component on the right. In modern Chinese usage, this character is less common than its simplified variant "钻" (zuān), but it can still appear in traditional texts, names, or historical contexts. Its Unicode designation places it within the vast set of CJK unified ideographs, supporting East Asian writing systems that include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
