U+9626 "阦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
阦
U+9626 "阦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically represents the meaning of "old fire" or "charcoal," often used in contexts related to embers or lingering flames. It is composed of the radical 阝 (commonly associated with hills or mounds, though here functioning as a phonetic or structural component) and a simplified element for fire, 火, giving it a visual connection to heat or combustion. While not commonly found in modern Chinese, this character appears in some classical texts and specialized dictionaries, reflecting its niche role as a logogram for residual or long-burning fire. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures digital preservation for scholarly and historical applications.
