鉄
U+9244 "鉄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that represents the concept of iron or metal, and it is traditionally used in East Asian languages, notably in Japanese where it is read as "tetsu" and forms part of words related to iron, steel, and railways, such as "鉄道" for railroad. In Simplified Chinese, the character is commonly replaced by the variant "铁", but "鉄" remains standard in Traditional Chinese and Japanese scripts. Its composition combines the radical for metal, known as "金", with a phonetic component indicating its pronunciation, and it appears in a wide range of contexts from metallurgy to everyday vocabulary.
