U+933B "錻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+933B "錻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and less commonly used Chinese character that primarily appears in Japanese contexts. It is a kanji character composed of the metal radical "金" (gold or metal) on the left and the phonetic component "武" (military or martial) on the right. The character is read as "bu" in Japanese and is most famously used in the name of the Japanese city of Shimizu "清水" but also appears in the historical term "錻具" (bugu), referring to metal fittings or armor. Its meaning is generally associated with metalwork or martial equipment, though it is not part of standard modern Chinese usage, making it a distinctive glyph in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set.
