Unicode Version 17.0
錘
U+9318 "錘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (simplified as 锤) that primarily means "hammer" or "mallet" and is also used metaphorically to denote a weight or a striking tool in various contexts, such as in blacksmithing or carpentry. In traditional and simplified Chinese, the character can refer to a physical hammer used for driving nails or breaking objects, as well as to a type of ancient weapon or a metal weight like a steelyard weight. Its structure combines the "metal" radical (金) with the phonetic component "垂" (chuí), reflecting both its metallic nature and its pronunciation, which is similar across multiple East Asian languages including Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
