U+70B3 "炳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+70B3 "炳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the fire radical on the left and an element suggesting brightness or clarity on the right, and it fundamentally conveys meanings associated with brilliance, luminosity, and being manifest or evident. In classical and modern Chinese usage, "炳" often appears in literary contexts to describe something shining brightly, such as a flame or a person's outstanding virtue, and it is also used in compound words like "炳然" meaning strikingly clear or "炳焕" denoting blazing radiance. Historically, this character has been employed in poetic descriptions of celestial bodies, political clarity, and moral excellence, emphasizing visibility and illumination rather than literal heat. As a component of the CJK unified ideograph block, it is encoded to represent a shared meaning across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean logographic writing systems.
