Unicode Version 17.0
鐧
U+9427 "鐧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of ancient weapon, specifically a mace or a metal rod used in traditional Chinese warfare, often depicted as a short, heavy club. In historical and literary contexts, it is notably associated with the legendary Tang Dynasty general Li Yuanba, who wielded two such maces. Beyond its martial meaning, the character also appears in the Chinese name for the "Jian" weapon, though it is distinct from the more common sword character. Its usage today is largely limited to historical texts, martial arts fiction, and personal names, reflecting its specialized cultural and etymological significance.
