U+706E "灮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
灮
U+706E "灮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the more common character 光 (guāng), meaning "light," "brightness," or "radiance." This character, belonging to the radical for fire (火), historically appeared in classical texts and older scripts, often representing the concept of light or illumination in a slightly different orthographic style. In modern usage, 灮 is largely obsolete, having been replaced by its more standardized counterpart in contemporary written Chinese, though it may still be encountered in calligraphy or scholarly discussions of ancient Chinese epigraphy.
