U+94D9 "铙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+94D9 "铙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a pair of large metal cymbals used in traditional Chinese music, often played in processions, ritual ceremonies, or operatic performances. In modern usage, it can also denote a specific type of bell or percussion instrument from ancient China, though its primary association remains with the clashing cymbals that produce a loud, resonant sound. The character itself is composed of the "metal" radical on the left side, indicating its material, and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its pronunciation in Mandarin as "náo." This ideograph is part of the broader CJK unified block and represents both a musical instrument and a cultural artifact within Chinese history.
