U+938F "鎏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+938F "鎏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in the written form of several East Asian languages, most notably in traditional and simplified Chinese contexts. Its primary meaning relates to the process of gilding, specifically a method of plating metal with gold or other precious metals, and it can also refer to objects that have been gilded or the pure quality of gold. The character is composed of the metal radical 金 (jīn, meaning gold or metal) and the phonetic component 留 (liú), which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese as "liú." This ideograph is often found in historical or artistic descriptions, such as references to gilded artifacts or fine metalwork in classical texts and modern writing about heritage crafts.
