U+9418 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a bell, specifically a large, hollow, metal bell traditionally used for timekeeping, signaling, or ceremonial purposes in East Asian cultures. Its radical is 金 (gold or metal) and its phonetic component is 童, reflecting both its material composition and sound associations. In modern usage, this character appears in words related to bells, clocks, and chimes, such as 時鐘 (shízhōng, clock) or 鐘聲 (zhōngshēng, the sound of a bell). Beyond practical function, it carries cultural and symbolic weight, often evoking notions of mindfulness, ritual, or the passage of time in classical poetry and philosophical texts.
