Post A liitle cat help
I'm customizing a fortune cat and need help with the coin. I want it to say "metal" but want to make sure I use the correct symbol. I'm completely clueless about this and don't really trust google

Thanks in advance

the same way in Japanese "Kanji"? If so, " 鉄 " or " 鋼鉄" would be best, I think. At least, I feel it's cooler than the wrods " 金属 ".

Would it help translators to know what sense you are using the word metal? You mean the variety of elements on the periodic table or the musical genre. Don't know if there is a difference but just throwing it out there.

It's the element

I've received several results when looking at online translators and I want to use whatever form mori would likely use
