鉢
U+9262 "鉢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally representing a bowl or an alms bowl, particularly associated with Buddhist monks who used it for collecting food donations. In Japanese, it is read as "hachi" and similarly refers to a bowl or pot, often used in terms like "茶碗" (teacup) or "陶器の鉢" (ceramic bowl). The character combines the radical 金 (metal or gold) on the left, indicating its original material, with the phonetic component 本 on the right. It appears in the Unicode block CJK Unified Ideographs, part of the Han script used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, and carries historical and cultural significance in East Asian traditions.
