U+94EC "铬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
铬
U+94EC "铬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily denotes the metal chromium, a hard, corrosion-resistant transition element used in alloys such as stainless steel. In modern Standard Mandarin, it is pronounced "gè" and appears in technical and industrial contexts, including chemistry, metallurgy, and manufacturing. Its structure combines the radical for metal (钅) on the left, indicating its metallic nature, with a phonetic component (各) on the right that suggests the sound. While less common in everyday language, it is a standardized character in modern Chinese writing systems for representing chromium and related compounds.
