U+70DF "烟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

烟

U+70DF "烟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "smoke," "mist," or "tobacco," with its semantic component derived from the radical for fire (火) and its phonetic component hinting at the sound "yan" in Mandarin. This character is widely used in East Asian languages, including Chinese and Japanese, where it appears in words such as 香烟 (xiāngyān, meaning cigarette) or 烟火 (yānhuǒ, meaning fireworks), and also carries metaphorical meanings related to haze, vapor, or the ethereal quality of smoke. Its structure reflects a common logographic pattern in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, where the radical provides a clue to meaning while the phonetic element suggests pronunciation, making it a practical example of how these characters encode linguistic information in a visually compact form.
