鐃
U+9403 "鐃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a type of ancient Chinese percussion instrument, specifically a large bronze bell or cymbal that was struck with a mallet and used in ceremonial and military contexts. It appears in classical texts as a variant form of the modern simplified character 铙, and its structure combines the "metal" radical (金) with the phonetic component 尧, reflecting its metallic composition. In historical usage, this instrument was often employed in orchestras for ritual music or signaling during battles, and it retains cultural significance in the study of ancient Chinese bronze artifacts and musical traditions.
