U+786B "硫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

硫

U+786B "硫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents sulfur, a nonmetallic chemical element, and is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean within their shared CJK writing system. This ideograph is composed of the radical "石" (stone) on the left side, indicating its mineral or solid nature, and the phonetic component "㐬" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "liú." In traditional contexts, the character appears in scientific terminology, such as in the word "硫磺" (liúhuáng) meaning brimstone or sulfur, and it plays a key role in fields like chemistry, agriculture, and medicine, where sulfur compounds are essential for fertilizers, fungicides, and various industrial processes.
