U+669D "暝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
暝
U+669D "暝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "dark" or "dusk," specifically referring to the period after sunset or the gloom of night. Composed of the sun radical 日 on the left and the phonetic component 冥 on the right, it conveys the idea of the sun setting or darkness falling. In classical Chinese texts, it often appears in poetic descriptions of twilight or metaphorically for obscurity and concealment, though it is less common in modern everyday usage.
