U+94B4 "钴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
钴
U+94B4 "钴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used to refer to the chemical element cobalt, with its radical being the "metal" or "gold" component (钅) on the left, indicating its metallic nature, and its phonetic component (古) on the right suggesting pronunciation. In modern Chinese, it is commonly found in scientific and industrial contexts, such as in the term for "cobalt" (钴) as a transition metal used in batteries, dyes, and alloys. Historically, the character also appears in classical texts with meanings related to a type of metal or a tool, though its contemporary usage is overwhelmingly tied to the element discovered and named in the 18th century.
