U+7159 "煙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
煙
U+7159 "煙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "smoke," "mist," or "fog," and is also used in the context of tobacco or vapor. Its structure combines the radical for fire (火) with a phonetic component, reflecting its association with airborne particles from combustion. In classical Chinese poetry and philosophy, "煙" frequently evokes imagery of transience, obscurity, or the ethereal quality of misty landscapes. In modern usage, it appears in common compounds like 煙火 (fireworks), 吸煙 (smoking tobacco), and 煙霧 (smog), and it holds cultural significance in East Asian traditions as a symbol of both impermanence and the boundary between the physical and spiritual realms.
