U+956E "镮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+956E "镮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character composed of the metal radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, primarily used to denote a metal ring, loop, or shackle, often referring to items such as earrings, bracelets, or the circular hardware on doors and containers. In classical texts, it appears in contexts describing ornamental or functional metal circles, and its usage overlaps with the more common character "環" (huán) in some historical or regional writing. Modern simplification converts it to "镮", though it is less frequent in everyday Simplified Chinese writing and retains a niche presence in specialized literary or historical references.
