U+9FD4 "鿔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9FD4 "鿔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in modern standard Mandarin, specifically representing the chemical element copernicium, which is a synthetic, radioactive metal with atomic number 112. This ideograph was officially added to the Unicode Standard to support scientific and technical terminology in Chinese, where it follows the naming convention for transuranium elements by using a phonetic component derived from the element's discoverer, Nicolaus Copernicus, combined with the metal radical "金" (meaning gold or metal). Its inclusion ensures accurate digital representation in contexts such as chemistry texts, periodic tables, and international scientific communication, though it remains relatively rare in everyday written Chinese due to the element's synthetic nature and limited practical use outside of specialized research.
