U+97B4 "鞴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鞴
U+97B4 "鞴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily means "bellows" or "to blow" a fire, often referring to the leather bellows used in traditional forges or blacksmithing. It is composed of the radical "革" (leather) on the left, indicating its material association, and the phonetic component "備" on the right, which suggests its pronunciation as "bèi" in Mandarin Chinese. In modern usage, this character appears in contexts related to historical or technical descriptions of metalworking and in some literary or classical Chinese texts where the concept of blowing air into a fire is needed.
