Relevancy
Cute and colorful but perfectly irrelevent in the English-language Wikipedia, no? User:Wetman
- Wetman, please sign your comments (I have done so for you above). Thanks.
- Anyway, regarding your question, not so. This is perfectly relevant. The reason that a Chinese periodic table is encyclopedic and we do depict a periodic table in Chinese but not in other languages is because Chinese is one of the few languages, perhaps the only language, that uses characters instead of the usual one or two letter abbreviations for elements. Also, the page has some information about the history, ways the characters are chosen, and uses of the Chinese periodic table. --Lowellian 00:53, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
Elements 104 and above
The Chinese names of the elements with atomic number larger than 104 -
| No. | Sym. | Name | Trad. Chinese | Sim. Chinese |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 104 | Rf | Rutherfordium | 鑪, 釒拉 | 钅卢 |
| 105 | Db | Dubnium | 𨧀, 釒杜, 釒都 | 钅杜 |
| 106 | Sg | Seaborgium | 𨭎, 釒喜, 釒希 | 钅喜 |
| 107 | Bh | Bohrium | 𨨏, 釒波 | 钅波 |
| 108 | Hs | Hassium | 𨭆, 釒黑 | 钅黑 |
| 109 | Mt | Meitnerium | 䥑, 釒麥 | 钅麦 |
| 110 | Ds | Darmstadtium | 鐽 | 钅达 |
| 111 | Rg | Roentgenium | No Chinese name yet | |
(If your computer did not have a Unicode-3.1-font, you can only see spaces or garbage squares.)
The traditional Chinese names of elements 105 through 109 use characters that are only available in Unicode 3.0 or Unicode 3.1 -
| 105 | 106 | 107 | 108 | 109 | |
| Unicode (Hex) | 289C0 | 28B4E | 28A0F | 28B46 | 4951 |
| Unicode (Dec) | 166336 | 166734 | 166415 | 166726 | 18769 |
The simplified Chinese names of elements 104 through 110 have not been encoded even in the newest version (4.01) of Unicode. --Hello World! 07:34, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, that's right. One additional comment to what you said: The issue is not just whether they have been encoded, but also whether the operating system or web browser supports rendering of surrogate pair characters. —Lowellian (talk) 08:18, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
A bug?
The character for stone (U+77F3) is now showing. Seemingly it is connected with recent changes in Wikipedia engine. See the third paragraph:
< All symbols for metals (except Hg) contain the radical 钅 or 金 ("gold"), for solid nonmetals 石 ("stone"), for liquid elements 水 ("water"), and for gases 气 ("steam"), in reference to their usual states at room temperature and standard pressure. >

- It seems that this bug is fixed now. — Monedula 13:43, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Request for screenshots
Could someone who has the appropriate fonts please take a screenshot of the tables and post them as pictures? This would enable those of us who lack the fonts to see this information. One-dimensional Tangent 04:15, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
Here you are: Traditional (http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~b92203009/rozenmaiden/EOC/SFA/Elements_Big5.png) and Simplified (http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~b92203009/rozenmaiden/EOC/SFA/Elements_GB.png). Dunno how to upload images properly so I put them in my webspace; the images were captured with HyperSnap-DX 5 by me.--G.S.K.Lee 01:10, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
Thanks! I've cropped and uploaded them, and am placing a link on the article page so that people can see them even when you remove the original screenshots from your webspace. One-dimensional Tangent 18:15, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
