U+70E7 "烧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+70E7 "烧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to burn," "to cook," or "to heat," and it is composed of the fire radical 火 on the left and the phonetic component 尧 on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to fire and its pronunciation in Mandarin as shāo. This character appears frequently in everyday vocabulary, such as in 烧水 (shāo shuǐ, to boil water) and 烧菜 (shāo cài, to cook dishes), and also carries metaphorical meanings like "to have a fever" (发烧, fā shāo) or "to burn out" in contexts of exhaustion. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is used across multiple East Asian writing systems, including Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja, where its form and meaning remain largely consistent.
