鈹
U+9239 "鈹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily represents the element beryllium in modern chemical terminology, where it is used as a phonetic loan for the English name of this metal. In classical Chinese contexts, the character also historically referred to a type of needle used in acupuncture or a sharp instrument, reflecting its composition of the radical for metal or gold (釒) combined with the phonetic component (皮). This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block and is used in specialized technical and historical texts.
