About
The character "锿" is a modern chemical character created to represent the synthetic element einsteinium, constructed from the metal radical "钅" indicating its metallic nature and the phonetic component "哀" which guides its pronunciation. Its traditional form "鎄" follows an identical structural principle, using the radical "金" for metal and "哀" for sound. Since its inception, this character has solely denoted the chemical element with atomic number 99, with no alteration in its meaning or application.
