U+941D "鐝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鐝
U+941D "鐝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used in the East Asian writing system, primarily in classical and modern texts where it represents a pickaxe or a type of digging tool, often associated with breaking ground or mining. Its structure combines the "metal" radical (金) on the left, indicating a metallic composition, with a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is roughly "jué" or "guì." While less common in everyday modern usage, it appears in historical literature, technical descriptions of tools, and some personal or place names, reflecting the rich lexical history of Chinese script.
