U+956A "镪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+956A "镪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character from the Kangxi radical 167 for metal, and it generally refers to a type of strong acid or a corrosive substance, often specifically meaning "nitric acid" or "aqua fortis" in modern Chinese contexts. Historically, it also denotes a string of copper coins or a kind of ancient currency, but its most common contemporary usage is in chemical terminology, where it appears in compounds like "硝酸" (xiāosuān, nitric acid) and signifies a powerfully oxidizing and dangerous liquid. This character is composed of the metal radical on the left and the phonetic component 强 (qiáng, meaning strong) on the right, reflecting its semantic link to potent, corrosive materials.
