U+7206 "爆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

爆

U+7206 "爆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to explode," "burst," "pop," or "sudden and violent," and it often appears in compounds related to fire, cooking, or explosive events, such as "爆発" (bào fā) meaning explosion or "爆米花" (bào mǐ huā) meaning popcorn. The character is constructed from the radical "火" (fire) on the left, indicating its association with heat or combustion, and the phonetic component "暴" (bào) on the right, which contributes to the pronunciation and also carries connotations of suddenness or violence. In classical and modern usage, it can describe the rapid expansion of superheated materials, such as in stir-frying a dish over high heat, or metaphorically refer to the bursting of emotions or news events, making it a versatile and vividly expressive logogram in both literary and everyday contexts.
