U+7215 "爕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
爕
U+7215 "爕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically functions as a variant of the more common character "燮" (xiè), which means to harmonize, adjust, or blend, and is often found in classical Chinese texts and personal names. Its composition combines the fire radical (火) on the bottom with a phonetic component on top, reflecting its ancient role in describing the balancing or tempering of forces, particularly in contexts like cooking, governance, or the regulation of yin and yang. Due to its obscurity, "爕" is seldom used in modern Chinese writing, appearing instead as a historical or calligraphic alternate form.
