Glyph origin

Ideogrammic compound (會意) : 气 ‎(“gas”) + 川 ‎(“three”). Also a phono-semantic compound (形聲) , where 川 (chuān) acts as the phonetic component. Compare 氘 (“deuterium”) and 氚 (“tritium”).

Etymology

From 川 (chuān) from the glyph, possibly influenced by New Latin tritium. In Mandarin, it is pronounced in the first tone by analogy with 氕 (piē, “protium”) and 氘 (dāo, “deuterium”).
