U+9382 "鎂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鎂
U+9382 "鎂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "magnesium," the metallic chemical element with the symbol Mg. It is composed of the radical for metal or gold (金) on the left, indicating its association with metals, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation, which is roughly "mei" in Mandarin. This character is used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems for scientific and industrial contexts involving the element, and it reflects the standard practice in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character encoding of forming new characters by combining a semantic radical with a phonetic element.
