U+943B "鐻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鐻

U+943B "鐻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically significant Chinese character used primarily in classical texts, often referring to a type of ancient musical instrument or a metal object, such as a metal bell or a kind of drum, and it appears in the context of traditional Chinese culture and artifacts. Its structure combines the "metal" radical (金) with a phonetic component, reflecting its association with metallic items, and it is most famously encountered in the philosophical work "Zhuangzi," where it denotes a legendary drum used in rituals. Due to its obscurity, this character is seldom used in modern Chinese writing, but it remains of interest to scholars of classical Chinese literature, epigraphy, and historical linguistics.
