U+940B "鐋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+940B "鐋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character, primarily used in historical or classical contexts rather than in modern everyday language. It is composed of the radical for metal or gold (金) on the left and the phonetic component "湯" (tāng) on the right, suggesting a connection to metalworking or an object made of metal. In classical Chinese texts, this character has been interpreted as meaning a kind of tool or instrument, such as a plane for smoothing wood or a large bell, though its precise usage varies across different historical sources and dictionaries. Because of its obscurity, it is not commonly found in contemporary writing, but it remains a point of interest for scholars studying ancient Chinese script and historical technology.
