U+9278 "鉸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9278 "鉸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally classified as a component within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing a metal-related glyph whose core meanings include "scissors," "shears," or "to cut with shears," often extended to denote "hinge" or "joint" in technical contexts. In modern usage, it appears in both traditional Chinese and Japanese scripts, where it is commonly employed in terms for hardware or cutting tools, such as in the word for "hinge" in Mandarin Chinese. Its composition includes the radical for "gold" or "metal" on the left side, indicating a connection to metallic objects, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation. This character underscores the logographic nature of the script, conveying a nuanced semantic field through a single written form.
