U+954C "镌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
镌
U+954C "镌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to engrave" or "to carve," often used in the context of inscribing text onto stone, metal, or other hard surfaces. In traditional Chinese culture, it conveys a sense of permanent marking or record, as in the phrase "镌刻" (juānkè), meaning to engrave deeply. It can also carry a figurative meaning of imprinting something firmly in the mind, such as a memory or lesson. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block and is used in classical and modern writing, though it is less common than basic characters.
