U+70A9 "炩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
炩
U+70A9 "炩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character classified under the radical for fire (火) and composed of additional strokes, meaning it relates to fire or brightness. Its modern usage is extremely limited and it is not commonly found in standard modern Chinese texts, though it may appear in classical literature or historical dictionaries where it was used to describe a specific type of glowing ember or the action of a flame catching and spreading. As a result, the character is primarily of interest to scholars studying paleography or the evolution of Chinese script, and it is included in Unicode for compatibility with historic documents and digital preservation.
