U+706F "灯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
灯
U+706F "灯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "lamp," "light," or "lantern," and it is composed of the radical "火" (fire) on the left and "丁" (a phonetic component) on the right, reflecting its meaning as a source of illumination produced by fire. This ideograph is widely used in both traditional and simplified Chinese scripts, as well as in Japanese (where it appears in the same form), and it appears in various compounds such as "电灯" (electric light) and "灯笼" (lantern). Its historical evolution from bronze inscriptions to modern writing underscores its enduring role in expressing the concept of light and visibility in East Asian cultures.
