U+9385 "鎅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鎅
U+9385 "鎅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively rare Chinese character primarily used in Cantonese and other regional dialects to mean "to cut," "to slice," or "to saw," often referring to cutting through metal or hard materials with a tool. Composed of the metal radical 金 (meaning "gold" or "metal") and the phonetic component 界 (meaning "boundary" or "divide"), its structure conveys the idea of using a metal implement to separate or divide an object. In traditional contexts, it appears in technical or colloquial vocabulary related to metalworking and crafting, and it is recognized in Unicode as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which supports East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
