U+9525 "锥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9525 "锥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that predominantly means "awl," "gimlet," "cone," or "pyramid," and by extension refers to any sharp, pointed tool used for piercing or boring holes. In a figurative sense, it can also denote something that is sharp or penetrating, such as in the compound "锥子" (zhuīzi) for an awl or "锥形" (zhuīxíng) for a cone shape. Its structural components include the left radical "钅" (jīn, meaning gold or metal), indicating its association with metal instruments, and the right phonetic component "隹" (zhuī, meaning short-tailed bird), which gives a clue to its pronunciation. This character appears frequently in technical and everyday contexts related to tools, geometry, and metaphorical sharpness in Chinese writing.
