U+9370 "鍰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9370 "鍰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient Chinese character that historically refers to a unit of weight or currency, particularly used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties as a measure for bronze or metal ingots, often equated to roughly six taels or about 230 grams of gold or silver. In modern contexts, it is rarely used in daily language but appears in classical texts, historical studies, and specialized discussions of ancient Chinese economics or metrology. The character itself is composed of the radical for metal (金) and a phonetic component, reflecting its association with precious metals and value. Its usage highlights the cultural and historical depth of the Chinese writing system, preserving a term from early Chinese monetary and trade practices.
