U+9460 "鑠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鑠
U+9460 "鑠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing the concept of melting or smelting metals, often used in literary contexts to describe the brilliance or dazzling effect of light, as in the phrase "鑠金" (shuò jīn) meaning "to melt gold." In historical usage, it appears in classical texts and idioms, such as "眾口鑠金" (zhòng kǒu shuò jīn), which metaphorically illustrates how public opinion can "melt" or corrupt truth. In modern Chinese and Japanese kanji, it retains this association with heat, brightness, and transformative power, though it is less commonly used in everyday language, often appearing instead in formal or poetic writing.
