鍛
U+935B "鍛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that generally means "to forge" or "to temper" metal, often used in the context of blacksmithing or metallurgy. It carries the broader connotation of refining or strengthening something through intensive effort, such as in the compound word "鍛練" meaning "to train" or "to exercise." In Japanese, it is also used as a kanji with similar meanings, appearing in terms like "鍛冶" (kaji) for "blacksmith." This ideograph combines the radical for metal (金) with a phonetic component, reflecting both its material and process-oriented nature.
