U+71AD "熭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
熭
U+71AD "熭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that historically represents the concept of drying something in the sun or sunlight, often associated with the action of exposing items to solar heat for desiccation or sterilization. Composed of radical 火 (fire) and the phonetic component 彗 (huì), this character appears in classical texts like the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as "to sun-dry" or "to bask," reflecting its use in agricultural and domestic contexts in ancient China. As a rarely used character in modern standard Mandarin, it retains its presence primarily in historical literature and scholarly discussions of traditional Chinese script.
