fe
Periodic table metal
Fe is the chemical symbol for iron, from Latin *ferrum*.
It appears in scientific contexts, periodic tables, and compound names: Fe₂O₃ is rust.
Outside chemistry, fe has no standard English use, though it appears in some transliteration systems and as an occasional variant spelling of fey or fee.
