U+93B9 "鎹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+93B9 "鎹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents a staple or a metal clip or fastener, often used in traditional contexts to join materials together. In Japanese, it is known as "kasugai" (鎹) and is particularly associated with the concept of a metal clamp or a type of staple used in woodworking or construction, such as in joining beams. This ideograph combines the radical for metal (金) with the phonetic component "送" (meaning to send or deliver), reflecting its functional role as a connector or affixer. While relatively uncommon in modern standard Chinese, it retains cultural and practical significance in historical texts and specialized trades, highlighting the nuanced evolution of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) shared characters across different linguistic traditions.
