U+953E "锾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
锾
U+953E "锾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used as a unit of weight or currency in ancient China, where it historically represented a measure of gold or silver, often equivalent to a specific weight like a tael. In modern usage, it appears less commonly in everyday language but is retained in classical texts, historical documents, and certain formal contexts, such as in the names of traditional weights or in financial terminology related to precious metals. Its composition includes the metal radical "钅" on the left, indicating its association with metal or money, and the phonetic component "爰" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "huán" in Mandarin.
