What 氙 means
It names xenon, the chemical element. In Chinese, 氙 is a technical chemistry term.
Chinese chemical nomenclature standardized 氙 in 1933 after competing translations. Its left component 气 marks a gaseous element; right-side 山 points to 仙 for its Mandarin sound. Older translations 氥, 氠 and 𣱧 also named xenon. Japanese uses キセノン, written in katakana, instead.
