U+7216 "爖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
爖
U+7216 "爖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the radical for fire (火), primarily used in classical or historical contexts rather than modern everyday writing. Its traditional meaning relates to the action of kindling a fire or the bright, blazing quality of flames, often implying a sense of illumination or intense heat. In linguistic terms, it belongs to the set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs, representing a shared logographic script that has evolved over centuries, though its practical usage today is largely limited to specialized texts, ancient literature, or calligraphy, where it serves as a evocative glyph for fiery imagery.
