Unicode Version 17.0
照
U+7167 "照" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that generally means to shine, illuminate, or reflect, and it is also used in the context of a license or permit, as in the word "zhàoxiàng" for photograph or "hùzhào" for passport. Its composition combines the radical for fire (灬) at the bottom with elements suggesting brightness or sunlight above, visually conveying the idea of light emanating or casting a glow. This character appears in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese writing systems, as well as in Japanese (as "shō" or "terasu") and Korean (as "jo"), playing a key role in everyday vocabulary related to illumination, photography, and official documentation.
