炸
U+70B8 "炸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to explode" or "to fry," commonly used in both modern and classical contexts. Composed of the fire radical (火) and the phonetic component 乍 (zhà), it appears in words such as 炸弹 (zhàdàn, "bomb") and 油炸 (yóuzhá, "deep-fried"), reflecting its dual association with violent bursts and cooking methods. Its usage spans everyday language, culinary descriptions, and technical or military terminology in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts where it has been historically adopted.
