Chinese is the only Language that uses characters instead of the usual one or two letter abbreviations for elements. These characters specially-invented for the periodic table are not used in Japan or Korea even though the Japanese and Korean languages also use Chinese Character s. In reference to their usual states at Room Temperature and Standard Pressure , all symbols for Metal s (except Hg ) contain the Radical 钅 or 金 ''jīn'' ("gold"); for Solid Nonmetal s 石 ''shí'' ("stone"); for Liquid elements 水 ''shuǐ'' ("water"); and for Gas es 气 ''qì'' ("steam"). Most elements have the same name in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese but use a different variant of the same base character. The exceptions are the Transuranium Element s; as most of these elements were discovered after the establishment of People's Republic Of China in 1949 , they have been given different names in Traditional and Simplified Chinese as the former is still used in the Republic Of China while the latter has been adopted by the People's Republic of China. Traditional Character s for elements with Atomic Number s 104 and above were only added in Unicode 3.1 ( 2001 ) as surrogate pairs that are part of the CJK Ideograph s Extension B character set; many Operating System s and Web Browser s do not support the display of surrogate pair characters. They are thus displayed twice in the traditional characters table below, as both the surrogate pair characters themselves and as combinations of phonetic components. Simplified Character s for elements 104 and above have not been encoded as of Unicode 4.1 ( 2005 ) and are thus given only as combinations of phonetic components in the simplified characters table below.
