U+9375 "鍵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9375 "鍵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "key," as in a physical key for a lock, and by extension it also conveys concepts of crucial importance, such as a "key point" or "key factor" in a discussion or system. In Japanese, this character is pronounced "kagi" and similarly refers to a key, both literally and figuratively, and it appears in common compounds like "鍵盤" (kenban, meaning keyboard) or "鍵穴" (kagiana, keyhole). Historically, the character's left radical, 金, indicates association with metal, reflecting its original reference to metal keys or locks, while the right component 建 provides phonetic guidance. Thus, this ideograph bridges tangible objects with abstract significance across multiple East Asian languages.
