U+708E "炎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
炎
U+708E "炎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents "flame" or "blaze," consisting of two stacked "火" (fire) radicals to intensify the meaning of burning or heat. It is commonly used in East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, appearing in words for inflammation, intense heat, or passion, such as "炎症" (inflammation) or "炎熱" (scorching heat). The character's design visually conveys the concept of rising flames, making it a vivid example of how ideographs in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script can combine simple elements to create richer, more specific meanings.
