U+70BF "炿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
炿
U+70BF "炿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character composed of the fire radical (火) on the left and the phonetic component 丹 (dān, meaning cinnabar or red) on the right. Its precise meaning is not well documented in standard modern Chinese dictionaries, but it is understood to relate to the concept of fire or a fiery red color, likely functioning as a variant or historical spelling of other characters such as 烻 (yàn, a fire shape) or 丹 (dān) in certain ancient texts. Found primarily in classical or literary contexts, this character represents the complexity and historical depth of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph system, where many glyphs survive with only specialized or obsolete usage.
