U+9265 "鉥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9265 "鉥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character whose primary meaning relates to a type of needle, specifically a long, large needle used for sewing or embroidery, and it also appears in historical contexts referring to a needle used in acupuncture. In classical literature, it is notably found in the idiom "鉥心刳肺" (shù xīn kū fèi), which describes a state of extreme mental effort or creative agony, as if one is carving out one's heart and lungs with a needle. While not common in modern standard Chinese, it retains specialized usage in ancient texts and certain technical or literary contexts.
