U+9555 "镕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9555 "镕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified forms, primarily representing the concept of "smelting" or "fusing" metals, as well as carrying a secondary meaning of "mold" or "cast" in metalworking contexts. It is composed of the radical 釒 (gold or metal) on the left and the phonetic component 容 (róng) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. Historically and in modern usage, this character appears in technical discussions of metallurgy and in literary contexts related to shaping or transforming materials. Its Unicode inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures cross-platform digital representation for texts in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where it may appear in classical writings or specialized terminology.
