U+949E "钞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
钞
U+949E "钞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "banknote," "paper money," or "to copy" or "transcribe." Historically, it is composed of the radical "金" meaning gold or metal, combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its original association with metal tools used for copying texts or, in a modern context, the metallic thread in currency. In contemporary usage, "钞" is most commonly seen in the word "钞票" (chāopiào), which directly refers to paper currency or banknotes, and it remains a standard character in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese scripts for financial and everyday contexts.
