U+93DC "鏜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鏜
U+93DC "鏜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in historical and modern contexts, primarily functioning as a noun meaning a type of drum or a metal percussion instrument, similar to a gong or bell, though it can also serve as a verb describing the action of striking or beating such an instrument. Its structure combines the "metal" radical (金) with the phonetic component "堂," reflecting its association with metallic sound production. In historical texts, this character appears in descriptions of ceremonial music or military signals, and it remains recognizable in classical literature and certain regional dialects, though it is less common in everyday modern usage.
