U+9502 "锂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9502 "锂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the element lithium, a soft, silvery-white alkali metal used in batteries, ceramics, and medicine. This character, pronounced "lǐ" in Mandarin, combines the "金" (jīn) radical meaning metal or gold with the phonetic component "里" (lǐ) meaning inside or village, reflecting its classification as a metallic element in the modern Chinese periodic table. It was incorporated into Unicode as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes shared Chinese-derived characters for digital text processing across East Asian languages.
