U+70CA "烊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+70CA "烊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) primarily used in modern and classical texts, where it carries multiple meanings related to heat or metalworking. It can function as a verb meaning to melt or smelt, particularly in the context of heating metal until it liquefies, such as in foundry processes. In certain dialects and compounds, it also appears in words like "烊化" (to dissolve by melting) or as a component in terms for thermal reactions. The character combines the fire radical "火" (huǒ) on the left with the phonetic component "羊" (yáng) on the right, reflecting its semantic association with fire and its sound in Mandarin Chinese. Though not among the most commonly used characters, it appears in technical, cultural, and historical Chinese writing.
