Unicode Version 17.0
铅
U+94C5 "铅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hànzì) that represents the element lead, primarily functioning as a noun meaning "lead" in the sense of the heavy metal, as well as extending to "lead" used in pencils, such as in the word “铅笔” (qiān bǐ, meaning pencil). It is composed of the radical 钅 (jīn, representing metal) on the left and the phonetic component 冖 (yán, also seen in other characters) on the right, indicating its classification as a phono-semantic compound. This character is widely used in modern Chinese and Japanese (where it is read as "en" in on'yomi and "namari" in kun'yomi) and appears in technical and everyday contexts, from chemistry to stationery.
