U+9579 "镹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
镹
U+9579 "镹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a highly obscure or archaic Chinese character, historically referenced in classical dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary. Its composition, combining the radical for "metal" or "gold" (金) with the phonetic component "久" (jiǔ, meaning long time), suggests the character likely carried a specific, perhaps obsolete meaning related to metalworking or a type of metallic implement, though its precise usage in modern or historical texts remains largely undocumented and unknown. As a rare glyph, it represents the deep complexity and sometimes lost breadth of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs collection.
