U+66A7 "暧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
暧
U+66A7 "暧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "obscure," "dim," or "cloudy," often associated with a lack of clarity or brightness. It is commonly used in words like 暧昧 (àimèi), which describes ambiguity or a vague, indecisive situation, especially in relationships or ideas. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and carries a visual structure combining the "sun" or "day" radical (日) with a phonetic component, reflecting its semantic link to light and atmospheric conditions. In modern usage, it retains a poetic and nuanced tone, appearing in literary and formal contexts rather than everyday conversation.
