U+712C "焬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+712C "焬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that has been encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block. Its meaning and usage are tied to classical or historical Chinese, where it can denote a type of light or brightness, often associated with the radiance of fire or the sun, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese. The character is composed of the radical for fire (火) on the left, suggesting a connection to heat or illumination, and a phonetic component on the right that may influence its pronunciation, typically read as xī or yì in some contexts. Due to its rarity, it appears primarily in specialized texts, such as ancient literature or technical character databases.
