U+9552 "镒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
镒
U+9552 "镒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a unit of weight and a concept of measure. Historically, it refers to an ancient unit of mass equal to about 20 or 24 taels (liang), used during the Warring States period and later dynasties for weighing precious metals like gold or silver. In modern usage, it is less common in daily life but appears in classical texts and historical records, often conveying a sense of abundance or profit when used in compound words or idioms. This character is composed of the metal radical (金) on the left and the phonetic component "益" on the right, indicating both its material association and pronunciation.
