U+9259 "鉙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鉙
U+9259 "鉙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character found in the traditional Kangxi radical system, specifically under radical 167, which is the "metal" or "gold" radical (金). Its exact meaning and usage are poorly documented in modern standards, as it does not appear in common Chinese dictionaries or texts, suggesting it is a historical variant or a character used in ancient inscriptions or specialized contexts. The character is composed of the metal radical on the left and the phonetic component "尌" on the right, but no standard definition or pronunciation (such as a modern Mandarin reading) is widely agreed upon, making it a largely enigmatic glyph within the Unicode CJK block.
