U+66AA "暪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+66AA "暪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in East Asian writing systems, primarily in traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean contexts. Its meaning is linked to darkness, concealment, or a shaded area, often associated with the idea of something being hidden or not easily visible. The character is composed of the radical 日 (sun, day) on the left, suggesting time or brightness, and the phonetic component 昬 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and semantic nuance of dusk or obscurity. In classical texts, 暪 appears infrequently, typically describing dim light or a state of being overshadowed. While not common in modern everyday usage, it retains its place as a historical and literary character within the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
