U+9500 "销" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
销
U+9500 "销" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to melt" or "to cancel" and is commonly used in modern Chinese to denote concepts like selling, marketing, or eliminating. Its constituent radicals include the metal radical "钅" on the left, indicating a connection to metal or smelting, and the phonetic component "肖" on the right. This character appears frequently in business contexts, such as in the word "销售" meaning "sales," and in technical terms like "销毁" meaning "to destroy." In traditional Chinese, it is written identically as "銷," and its usage spans from describing the melting of metals to figuratively representing the cancellation of transactions or the erasure of records.
