U+66E6 "曦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
曦
U+66E6 "曦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified forms, primarily meaning sunlight, dawn, or the light of the rising sun. It is composed of the radical "日" (sun) on the left, signifying its association with daylight, and the phonetic component "羲" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as xī in Mandarin. This character appears in classical and literary contexts to evoke imagery of morning brightness and is sometimes found in names or poetic expressions, though it is less common in everyday modern usage due to its complexity and elevated register.
