U+923D "鈽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+923D "鈽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional written Chinese, primarily pronounced as "bù" in Mandarin. Its meaning is associated with the concept of "plutonium," the radioactive chemical element, where the character combines the metal radical (金, meaning gold or metal) with the phonetic component "布" (bù). This character was introduced as part of the modern Chinese naming system for chemical elements, specifically for element 94, reflecting the practice of creating new ideographs by pairing a semantic radical with a phonetic element to represent foreign scientific terms. As a result, it is found in specialized contexts such as chemistry, nuclear science, and technical literature, rather than in everyday language.
