U+70AE "炮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
炮
U+70AE "炮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a cannon or firearm, as well as the act of cooking by roasting or dry frying in a wok. Its radical, 火 (fire), suggests a connection to heat or flames, while the phonetic component 包 hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin as "pào". In traditional Chinese culture, this character appears in historical military contexts for artillery and in culinary terms like 炮肉 (pào ròu), meaning to stir fry meat, though in modern usage it is most commonly associated with weaponry and fireworks.
