Source: Browser Default
U+9298 "銘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "inscription" or "engraving," often referring to text carved on metal, stone, or other durable materials to commemorate a person, event, or object. In East Asian cultures, it carries connotations of lasting memory, honor, and dedication, appearing in contexts such as epitaphs, nameplates, and literary phrases like "銘記" (to engrave on one's heart, meaning to remember deeply). The character combines the radical for metal (金) with the phonetic component 名, reflecting its historical association with inscriptions on bronze or metal artifacts, and it remains in modern usage for branding, mottos, and formal dedications.
