镐
U+9550 "镐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that has two primary meanings and pronunciations. In modern Mandarin, it is most commonly pronounced "gǎo" and refers to a pickaxe or a mattock, a tool used for breaking up hard soil or rock. Alternatively, it can be pronounced "hào" and is used in historical contexts, such as in the name of the ancient capital city "Hàojīng", which was the capital of the Western Zhou dynasty near present-day Xi'an in Shaanxi province. The character is composed of the radical for metal (金) and the phonetic component resembling a high or elevated element, reflecting both its material and symbolic associations.
