U+720E "爎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+720E "爎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls under the radical for fire (火) and is historically associated with meanings related to brightness, burning, or illumination, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin or Japanese. This glyph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes shared characters across these writing systems, and its structure combines the fire radical with other components to convey a concept of intense light or heat. Due to its rarity, "爎" often appears in specialized classical texts, historical dictionaries, or as a variant form of more common characters like "燎" (meaning to burn or set ablaze), and it may require specific font support to render correctly in digital environments.
