U+957B "镻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+957B "镻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in traditional and simplified writing, though it is relatively obscure and rarely encountered in modern texts. Its composition, 镻, combines the metal radical (钅) on the left with the phonetic component 失 on the right, suggesting a possible connection to metal or a tool, though its precise meaning in historical or classical Chinese contexts is not well-documented in common dictionaries. The character appears in some older lexicons and may be associated with alternate regional usages or archaic terms, but it lacks a widely recognized standard definition today, making it a niche element within the vast set of CJK unified ideographs.
