About
The character 锩, traditionally written as 錈, is a verb meaning to bend or curl metal. Its structure combines the metal radical 金 (simplified as 钅) on the left, indicating a semantic field related to metalworking, with the phonetic component 卷 (juǎn) on the right. This component also contributes meaning, as 卷 itself signifies rolling or curling, thus reinforcing the idea of shaping metal into a curve.
