U+2EA3 "⺣" CJK Radical Fire Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⺣
U+2EA3 "⺣" CJK Radical Fire is a variant of the fire radical, known in Chinese as 火字底 (huǒ zì dǐ) or "fire bottom," and it appears at the base of certain Chinese characters to convey meanings associated with fire, heat, or light. This radical is a simplified form of the full fire radical 火 and is commonly found in characters such as 煮 (to boil) and 熱 (hot), where it links the character's semantic field to thermal or fiery concepts. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs system, this radical helps readers quickly identify a character's thematic connection to combustion or warmth, even when it appears in a compressed or stylized bottom position.
