U+78C1 "磁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+78C1 "磁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "magnet" or "magnetism," and it is composed of the radical for stone (石) on the left and the phonetic component 兹 (zī) on the right, reflecting its early association with lodestone, a naturally magnetic iron ore. In modern usage, it appears in words such as 磁铁 (cí tiě) for "magnet" and 磁场 (cí chǎng) for "magnetic field," and it is also a key element in terms for ceramics like 陶瓷 (táo cí, "pottery and porcelain") due to the stone radical's connection to hard, fired materials. This character is widely used in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems, as well as in Japanese and Korean Hanja, maintaining consistent meaning across these East Asian languages.
