U+57EE "埮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+57EE "埮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily functions as a radical or component in classical texts, with its pronunciation and meaning varying across historical dictionaries. It is composed of the earth radical 土 (tu, meaning "soil" or "ground") combined with the phonetic element 炎 (yan, meaning "flame"), often interpreted in ancient lexicons as referring to a type of raised earthen mound or a platform used for burning sacrifices. Due to its obscurity, 埮 appears infrequently in modern standard Chinese and is instead encountered in specialized contexts such as historical linguistics, traditional character studies, or Classical Chinese poetry. In Japanese and Korean, where it is also recognized as a CJK character, it carries similar sparse usage and is typically found only in older or scholarly documents.
