U+9310 "錐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
錐
U+9310 "錐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in several East Asian languages, representing a conical tool or object, most commonly translated as an awl, a pointed instrument for piercing small holes, or a drill in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its meaning also extends metaphorically to anything with a sharp, tapering shape, and in classical contexts it appears in idioms such as "锥处囊中" which describes talent that will inevitably be discovered. The character is composed of the radical "金" meaning metal, combined with "隹" which provides phonetic cues, reflecting its historical association with metalworking and piercing tools.
