U+9248 "鉈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9248 "鉈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character used primarily in Japanese, where it represents a "hatchet" or "billhook," a type of heavy cutting tool with a broad blade on one side and a hammer-like face on the other, often employed in forestry or carpentry. In Chinese, the character is read as "shé" in Mandarin and refers to a small axe or a kind of ancient weapon, though its usage is less common in modern contexts. The character is composed of the radical for metal (金) on the left, indicating its association with metallic tools, and the phonetic component 它 (ta) on the right, which suggests the sound but not the meaning. Historically, 鉈 appears in classical texts and is a rare but standardized part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, with its application varying by region and language.
