U+66E0 "曠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
曠
U+66E0 "曠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a hanzi or kanji character that primarily means "vast," "open," "clear," or "empty" in the context of wide open spaces or a lack of obstruction, such as in the sky or a field. It is composed of the radical "日" (sun or day) on the left and "廣" (broad or extensive) on the right, combining to convey a sense of expansive brightness or unoccupied area. This character appears in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and is used in words like "曠野" (kuàngyě, meaning wilderness) or "曠日持久" (kuàng rì chí jiǔ, meaning to waste time over days). Its ancient form and meaning reflect a conceptualization of emptiness as a clear, unobstructed state rather than a negative void.
