U+94BB "钻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
钻
U+94BB "钻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to drill, bore, or pierce, and by extension can refer to a drill or auger as a tool. It is composed of the radical for metal or gold (钅) on the left, which suggests its association with metallic tools or actions, and the phonetic component 占 (zhàn/zhān) on the right. In modern usage, "钻" is commonly found in technical contexts such as drilling machinery, as well as in metaphorical expressions like "钻研" meaning to study intensively or delve deeply into a subject. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is encoded in Unicode for consistent digital representation across languages that use Chinese characters.
