U+71C8 "燈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
燈
U+71C8 "燈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a lamp or lantern, composed of the fire radical 火 on the left and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its reading as "deng." In classical Chinese texts, it refers to an oil lamp or candle, and it remains in modern use, particularly in the written languages of Taiwan and Hong Kong, where it retains the full traditional form. In contrast, the simplified Chinese equivalent is 灯, which simplifies the character by using the same fire radical but replacing the complex phonetic element with a simpler one.
