U+955C "镜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+955C "镜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing the concept of “mirror” or “lens,” and it is commonly used in modern Mandarin Chinese, Japanese (as a kyūjitai form), and Korean (where it is pronounced “gyeong”). This ideograph is composed of the radical “钅” (gold or metal on the left) and the phonetic component “竟” on the right, reflecting its traditional association with polished metal surfaces used for reflection. In the Unicode standard, it falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, encoding a character that appears frequently in words related to mirrors, glasses, cameras, and metaphorical concepts of reflection or examination, such as “眼镜” (yǎnjìng, meaning eyeglasses) or “镜面” (jìngmiàn, meaning mirror surface).
