U+9315 "錕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

錕

U+9315 "錕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character pronounced kūn in Mandarin, representing a type of metal or alloy, often associated with a legendary ancient sword in Chinese mythology known as the Kunwu sword, which was said to be crafted from a superior ore. In historical and literary contexts, the character appears in classical texts such as the Zhuangzi, where it symbolizes sharpness and durability, while in modern usage it is less common but still occasionally found in names or references to fine metalwork. The character is composed of the radical for metal (金, jīn) on the left and the phonetic component 昆 (kūn) on the right, reflecting its semantic and sound formation within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) script system. This character is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which covers a vast range of East Asian logographic writing.
