U+946D "鑭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+946D "鑭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily represents the chemical element lanthanum, a silvery-white rare earth metal with atomic number 57. In modern Chinese, it is used in scientific and technical contexts, often appearing in compounds such as "鑭系元素" meaning "lanthanide series." The character is composed of the metal radical "金" on the left, indicating its association with metals or minerals, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation roughly as "lan" in Mandarin Chinese. While less common in everyday language, it is an important term in chemistry and material science, linking classical writing systems to contemporary scientific vocabulary.
