U+66B8 "暸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+66B8 "暸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily means "bright" or "clear," and it is also used as a variant of the more common character "瞭" (liǎo), which denotes understanding or clarity of vision, though "暸" is traditionally associated with the meaning of "bright" or "luminous" in classical texts. This character is composed of the radical "日" (sun, day) on the left side, indicating its connection to light or time, and the phonetic component "尞" (liào) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In modern usage, "暸" is relatively rare and is often encountered in historical or literary contexts, as it has largely been supplanted by "瞭" in standard Chinese for meanings related to "clear" or "to understand."
