U+9493 "钓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9493 "钓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to fish" or "angling," and it functions as both a verb and a noun in various East Asian languages, including Chinese and Japanese. Its structure combines the radical for metal or gold (钅) on the left, suggesting the fishing hook's material, with a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation (diào in Mandarin). This character is commonly used in everyday contexts such as fishing activities (钓鱼), in proverbs like "to fish for fame and reputation" (沽名钓誉), and in compound words related to fishing equipment or practices. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it represents a shared written heritage among these languages, though its usage and specific connotations may vary slightly by region.
