U+663D "昽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+663D "昽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "the light of the rising sun" or "to be about dawn," often conveying a sense of faint or early morning brightness. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 72, which is the "sun" radical, and its traditional usage appears in classical Chinese texts to describe the glimmering or hazy light just before full daylight. The character is classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters shared across these East Asian writing systems, though 昽 is relatively rare in modern usage. Its composition combines the sun radical with a phonetic component, reflecting a typical structure for logographic characters in this script family. Overall, U+663D serves as a specialized term in literary contexts for describing the soft illumination of dawn.
