U+70FD "烽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
烽
U+70FD "烽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logogram that represents the concept of a beacon fire or signal fire, historically used for military communication and warning systems. This character combines the fire radical on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and its usage is most famously associated with the Great Wall of China, where beacon towers were used to relay messages about invading forces across vast distances. In modern contexts, it can appear in words related to flames, alarms, or watchtowers, and it remains a common element in both classical literature and contemporary Chinese vocabulary, symbolizing urgent signals or warning lights.
