U+937C "鍼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鍼
U+937C "鍼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "needle" or "pin," often referring to a sewing needle or, in a medical context, an acupuncture needle. This character is composed of the radical for metal (金) on the left, indicating its connection to metallic objects, and a phonetic component on the right. It is used in both traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji, where it appears in words related to sewing, surgery, or traditional medicine. In modern usage, it is less common than its simplified counterpart "针" in mainland China, but it remains relevant in classical texts and specialized fields.
