U+93C1 "鏁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鏁

U+93C1 "鏁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character primarily used in classical or technical contexts, consisting of the metal radical "金" combined with phonetic or semantic components to convey meanings related to locking, restraining, or a kind of metallic fastener. Historically, it appears in ancient texts and is associated with the concept of a lock or chain, though it has largely fallen out of common modern usage, residing alongside dense and archaic characters in the CJK Unihan database. Its structure and obscurity make it of particular interest to scholars of historical linguistics, paleography, and those studying the evolution of written Chinese, as it represents a specialized lexical item preserved in the vast Unicode standard.
