U+71F9 "燹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

燹

U+71F9 "燹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that traditionally refers to wildfire, specifically a blaze caused by lightning or a natural conflagration in the wilderness, and by extension it can denote the ashes or embers left after such a fire. Composed of the fire radical 火 (or 灬) alongside elements suggesting both "wild boar" and "forest," its ancient form visually evokes the image of a wild boar fleeing a forest fire, a vivid metaphor for destruction and chaos. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese, but it appears in classical literature, particularly in historical and poetic contexts where massive, uncontrolled fires are described, and it carries a distinct, dramatic weight that sets it apart from more generic terms for fire or flame.
