Unicode Version 17.0
鑑
U+9451 "鑑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji that conveys the concept of a mirror, reflection, or model for comparison, often used metaphorically to mean "to examine," "to judge," or "to take as a lesson." It is composed of two main components: the radical金 (metal/gold) on the left, indicating the material from which ancient bronze mirrors were made, and the phonetic component監 (supervise/watch) on the right, which contributes to the character's meaning of careful observation or scrutiny. In classical texts and modern usage, it appears in words like 鑑賞 (appreciation) and 鑑定 (appraisal), highlighting its role in acts of critical evaluation or aesthetic judgment.
