U+9340 "鍀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9340 "鍀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the element technetium, a radioactive metallic element with atomic number 43. In traditional Chinese chemistry nomenclature, this character was created to specifically designate technetium, using the metal radical (金) combined with a phonetic component to convey its pronunciation. Unlike many classical CJK characters found in historical texts, 鍀 is a relatively modern invention, introduced in the 20th century as part of systematic efforts to name newly discovered or synthesized chemical elements in Chinese. It is used primarily in scientific and technical contexts, particularly in chemical formulas and periodic table references within Chinese-language materials.
