U+9780 "鞀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鞀
U+9780 "鞀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes a type of ancient handheld drum, often used in ceremonial or military contexts, where it was shaken to produce sound. This character, composed of the radical for leather or hide (革) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, appears in classical Chinese texts and historical records, representing both the instrument itself and, by extension, actions associated with drumming or signaling. Its usage has largely been supplanted by more common modern characters for drums or percussion, but it remains preserved in Unicode for the study of historical Chinese writing and East Asian cultural heritage.
