U+943A "鐺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鐺
U+943A "鐺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally pronounced as dāng or chēng, and it primarily refers to a type of metal ring or handle attached to objects such as bells, pots, or other vessels, often used for hanging or gripping. It also appears in classical texts to denote the sound of clanging metal or the act of striking a bell, reflecting its association with metallic resonance. In modern usage, this character is less common in simplified Chinese but retains relevance in traditional Chinese, Japanese (as a kanji), and Korean (as a hanja) contexts, where it may appear in historical or literary works.
