U+951D "锝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+951D "锝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in modern Standard Mandarin, primarily functioning as a phonetic component in scientific terminology. Specifically, it represents the chemical element technetium, a radioactive transition metal with atomic number 43, where "锝" (pronounced "dé" in pinyin) was coined as a transliteration of the element's name in Chinese chemical nomenclature. The character combines the metal radical "钅" (jīn) on the left, indicating its association with metallic substances, with the phonetic component "得" (dé) on the right, which conveys the sound but not the meaning. This formation follows the pattern of creating characters for newly discovered elements in the Chinese language, reflecting a blend of semantic and phonetic cues to integrate modern science into traditional writing.
