U+92AC "銬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

銬

U+92AC "銬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, where it carries the meaning of "handcuffs" or "shackles," often referring to metal restraints used on prisoners or suspects. Its radical is the metal element "金" (jīn) on the left side, indicating its metallic nature, while the right side "考" (kǎo) provides phonetic cues. In modern usage, the character appears in compound words like "手銬" (shǒukào, meaning handcuffs) and is relevant in legal and police contexts, though it remains relatively specific compared to more common characters. This glyph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in the Unicode standard, encoded specifically for representing this logographic meaning across East Asian scripts.
