U+93EB "鏫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+93EB "鏫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character primarily found in historical or specialized texts, where it denotes a type of metal tool or instrument, often associated with farming or cutting, such as a hoe or plowshare. Its structure combines the "metal" radical (釒) on the left, indicating its metallic nature, with a phonetic component on the right that provides a clue to its pronunciation, though the exact phonetic derivation is obscure. In modern standard Chinese, this character has fallen out of common usage, surviving mostly in classical literature, dictionaries, or as a variant form of other characters like "犁" (plow), making it a niche element in the vast CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph repertoire.
