U+939B "鎛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鎛

U+939B "鎛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used historically to refer to a type of ancient bronze bell, specifically a large, flat bell that was struck with a mallet, as well as a unit of weight or measurement. It appears in classical texts and artifacts from the Zhou dynasty and later periods, often associated with ritual music and ceremonial contexts. The character itself is composed of the metal radical (金) on the left, indicating its connection to metalwork, and a phonetic component on the right that provides its pronunciation, which is "bó" in modern Mandarin. While rarely used in everyday modern writing, it remains a subject of interest in the study of Chinese epigraphy, ancient bronze inscriptions, and historical linguistics.
