Unicode Version 17.0
錫
U+932B "錫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily signifies the metal tin, and it is also used as a component in words related to bestowal or granting, such as in the classical term "賜錫" meaning to confer a gift. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block in Unicode, where it is encoded for representing shared logographic writing systems across East Asian languages. In modern usage, it appears in contexts ranging from material science to historical texts, and it carries the traditional radical for metal (金) with a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation, which varies regionally as "xī" in Mandarin, "sek" in Cantonese, and "saku" or "shaku" in Japanese.
