U+7228 "爨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7228 "爨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a highly complex Chinese character composed of 30 strokes, making it one of the most intricate characters in the Unicode standard. It primarily means "to cook" or "a stove for cooking," and historically, it referred to the act of preparing a meal, especially in the context of traditional Chinese households. Due to its complexity, this character is rarely used in modern everyday writing, but it appears in classical literature, historical texts, and as a surname in some Chinese families. Its structure incorporates multiple radicals, including components for "fire" and "hands," which visually convey the action of tending a stove.
