U+948B "钋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+948B "钋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the chemical element polonium, specifically used in modern Chinese to denote this radioactive metalloid with atomic number 84. It belongs to the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, which encodes characters shared across these writing systems. The character is composed of the radical "钅" (meaning metal or gold) on the left, indicating its classification as a metal, and the phonetic component "卜" on the right, which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin as "pō". This character is primarily used in scientific and chemical contexts, such as in the names of substances or in educational materials about the periodic table, and is distinct from older or alternative forms like "釙" in traditional Chinese script.
