U+9F14 "鼔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鼔
U+9F14 "鼔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in written Chinese and other East Asian languages, representing a pictograph of a drum, specifically the action of beating or drumming. It is distinct from the similar glyph U+9F13 "鼓" which more commonly denotes the drum instrument itself, though both share the radical "鼓" related to drums and percussion. Historically, "鼔" appears in classical texts and inscriptions, where it conveys the sense of striking a drum to produce sound, often in ritual or military contexts, and its usage underscores the nuanced differentiation in ancient Chinese writing between the object and the action.
