U+706C "灬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
灬
U+706C "灬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental component in Chinese writing, known as the "four-dot" radical or "fire" radical, specifically representing the lower variant of the radical for fire, often called "the fire bottom." It appears in many Chinese characters to convey meanings related to heat, light, or energy, such as in 热 (rè, meaning hot), 烈 (liè, meaning intense), and 烹 (pēng, meaning to boil or cook). Despite its small and simple appearance of four dots, this radical plays a crucial role in forming compound characters, reflecting the ancient pictographic representation of flames. Its inclusion in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block highlights its shared use across these East Asian writing systems.
