U+9306 "錆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "rust" or "tarnish," commonly referring to the corrosion of metal surfaces, such as iron or steel, when exposed to moisture. It is written with a metal radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and in modern usage, it appears in words related to oxidation and deterioration, like 錆びる (sabiru) in Japanese meaning "to rust."
