U+957A "镺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

镺

U+957A "镺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a logographic symbol from the traditional Chinese writing system. This character, pronounced "ǎo" in Mandarin, is defined in the Kangxi Dictionary with the meaning of "long" or "lengthy," often specifically referring to something being of extended length or duration, though it is considered obscure and not commonly encountered in modern written Chinese or everyday texts. Its composition features the metal radical "钅" on the left, suggesting a connection to metal or metallic objects, combined with a phonetic component on the right, typical of many CJK characters that blend semantic and sound cues to convey meaning. As a historical variant or specialized term, "镺" serves as a linguistic artifact within the vast repository of Chinese characters, primarily of interest to scholars, linguists, or those studying classical texts.
