U+9283 "銃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
銃
U+9283 "銃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally classified as an ideograph, primarily known for its meaning of "gun" or "firearm" in modern Chinese and Japanese usage, where it is pronounced as "chòng" in Mandarin and "jū" in Japanese on readings. In classical contexts, the character originally referred to a type of blunderbuss or a projectile weapon, and it also carries the figurative meaning of "to shoot" or "to fire," reflecting its composition of the metal radical "金" (gold or metal) on the left and a phonetic component on the right. This glyph is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, encompassing characters used across Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese languages.
