U+932E "錮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

錮

U+932E "錮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to stop up" or "to block," often carrying connotations of sealing or obstructing something tightly, such as in the word "錮泣" meaning to choke back tears, or "禁錮" meaning to imprison or confine. In its traditional composition, it combines the metal radical 金 (meaning gold or metal) with the phonetic component 固 (meaning solid or firm), reflecting its historical usage in contexts involving physical barriers, as in sealing metal containers, or metaphorical restraint. This character is classified as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs set, which standardizes shared East Asian logographic scripts across digital systems, and it appears in modern print and digital text for formal or literary writing.
