汞
Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+6C5E "汞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it represents the element mercury. In Chinese, it is pronounced "gǒng" and historically denoted liquid silver or quicksilver, often associated with alchemy, traditional medicine, and thermometers. The character is composed of the radical for water (氵, often simplified as 氺 in this form) and the component "工" (gōng, meaning work or skill), reflecting its fluid nature and ancient applications. As a standardized character in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, it maintains consistent meaning across writing systems, though stroke order and pronunciation vary by language.
