U+9565 "镥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
镥
U+9565 "镥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing the element lutetium, a silvery-white rare earth metal with atomic number 71, and it is used primarily in specialized chemical and industrial contexts, such as catalysis or petroleum refining. This character is composed of the radical for metal or gold (钅) on the left side, indicating a metallic nature, and the phonetic component "鲁" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "lǔ." Though relatively obscure outside of scientific or technical Chinese writing, it serves as a standard symbol for lutetium in chemical nomenclature and materials science.
