U+718C "熌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
熌
U+718C "熌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that primarily refers to a flashing or flickering light, often associated with the shimmering or sparkling of fire or lightning. Its structure combines the fire radical "火" on the left with a phonetic component "閩" or a similar element on the right, though it is not a commonly used character in modern Mandarin or Classical Chinese texts. Historically, it may appear in specialized contexts such as poetry or technical descriptions of luminous phenomena, but it remains obscure and is seldom encountered outside of large character dictionaries or Unicode documentation.
