U+7AAF "窯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7AAF "窯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a kiln, furnace, or oven used for firing ceramics, bricks, or other materials. It is also frequently used in the context of traditional pottery and porcelain production, particularly in East Asian cultures where it appears in compounds such as "窯業" (ceramics industry) or "窯元" (pottery studio or kiln site). The character is composed of the radical for "cave" or "hole" (穴) combined with the phonetic component "羔" (meaning lamb), reflecting its original association with a fire chamber or enclosed space for heating. In modern usage, it remains a standard component in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese scripts, as well as in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, where it retains similar meanings related to kilns and firing processes.
