U+71A5 "熥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

熥

U+71A5 "熥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that is composed of the radical for fire, 火, and the phonetic component 通, which suggests its pronunciation as "tōng" in Mandarin. This character traditionally means to heat or warm something thoroughly, often in the context of applying gentle heat to cook or warm food, such as steaming or roasting over a low fire. It appears in classical Chinese texts and regional dialects, particularly in Northern Chinese culinary contexts, where it can describe the process of heating a dish slowly to enhance flavor or texture. As a CJK unified ideograph, it is part of the standard set of East Asian characters encoded for digital use, ensuring its preservation in modern computing systems despite its low frequency in everyday writing.
