U+70C8 "烈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
烈
U+70C8 "烈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "fierce," "intense," or "fiery," often used to describe strong emotions, extreme conditions, or heroic sacrifice, as in the word "激烈" (fierce) or "烈士" (martyr). It is composed of the radical 灬 (fire) at the bottom, indicating a connection to heat or burning, and the phonetic component 列 on top, which contributes to its pronunciation as "liè" in Mandarin. This character appears in historical and literary contexts to convey notions of ardor, violence, or potent energy, and it is an integral part of many compound words and names in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
