U+66D6 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+66D6 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese and Korean, where it is primarily associated with the meanings of "dark," "not clear," or "ambiguous." In Japanese, it is notably used in the word "aimai" (曖昧), meaning vague or ambiguous, a concept important in cultural and linguistic contexts. The character is composed of the "sun" or "day" radical (日) on the left, suggesting a connection to light or time, and a phonetic component on the right, though its overall meaning leans toward obscurity rather than clarity. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts and has been encoded as a unified ideograph in the Unicode standard to represent its shared form across East Asian writing systems.
