U+9540 "镀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9540 "镀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to plate" or "to coat" with a thin layer of metal, such as gold, silver, or chromium, through processes like electroplating. Commonly used in modern Chinese, it appears in terms like "镀金" (dù jīn), meaning gold plating or, figuratively, gilding or superficial refinement. The character is composed of the radical "钅" (metal) on the left, indicating its association with metals, and the phonetic component "度" (dù) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. As a part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, it represents a standard character used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, each with its own pronunciation and nuanced usage.
