U+94B2 "钲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
钲
U+94B2 "钲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to an ancient type of bell or gong used in Chinese military and ceremonial contexts, often functioning as a percussion instrument to signal troops during battle or to mark rhythms in ritual music. Composed of the radical for metal ("钅") and the phonetic component "正" (meaning upright or correct), the character embodies its metallic nature and its role in producing clear, commanding sounds. In modern usage, "钲" is not commonly encountered in everyday language but remains preserved in classical literature, historical texts, and traditional musical terminology, where it evokes the cultural heritage of ancient Chinese warfare and courtly arts.
