U+93FD "鏽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鏽
U+93FD "鏽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "rust" or to become rusted, often used in contexts describing the corrosion of metals. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encompasses characters historically shared across these East Asian writing systems. In traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji, this character conveys the oxidation process on iron or steel surfaces, and it appears in compound words such as "鏽蝕" (rust erosion) in Chinese or "錆" (sabi, meaning rust) in Japanese. Its structure combines the "metal" radical 釒 on the left with a phonetic component 秀 on the right, reflecting its semantic and phonetic composition typical of many CJK characters.
