U+93AC "鎬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鎬

U+93AC "鎬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of pickaxe or hoe used in ancient farming and earthmoving, and it also carries the meaning of a bright, glowing metal or a stove, particularly in contexts related to forging or heating. In modern usage, it is most famously known as the second character in the name of the South Korean capital Seoul, spelled as "서울" in Hangul and represented in Hanja as "首爾" or sometimes historically with this character, though in Chinese, it appears in the word "鎬頭" (gǎo tou) meaning "pickaxe." This character is composed of the metal radical 金 (jīn) on the left and the phonetic component 高 (gāo) on the right, reflecting its associations with tools and metallic brightness.
