U+71AB "熫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+71AB "熫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that primarily belongs to the Kangxi radical for fire (火) combined with a phonetic component, though its precise meaning is obscure and rarely used in modern standard Chinese. It is most commonly identified as a variant form of the character "熾" (chì), which means to burn fiercely or be ablaze with passion, but the specific glyph "熫" is exceptionally rare and often only encountered in historical dictionaries or specialized classical texts, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where its archaic nuance likely referred to intense heat or an active fire. Due to its extreme rarity, it holds little practical use in contemporary writing but remains a point of interest for scholars of Chinese paleography and Unicode's extensive CJK character set.
