U+6633 "昳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

昳

U+6633 "昳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "the sun declining in the west" or "afternoon sun," often associated with the late afternoon or the sun moving past its zenith. It is composed of the radical for "sun" or "day" (日) on the left and the phonetic component "失" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (typically read as "dié" in Mandarin Chinese). Historically, this character appears in classical Chinese texts describing the progression of daylight hours, and it is also used in some compound words to indicate a slanting or setting sun. While not common in modern everyday language, it retains significance in literary and historical contexts as a precise descriptor of the sun's position in the sky.
