U+66DC "曜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+66DC "曜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that signifies "shine," "glow," or "radiance," and is most famously used in East Asian languages as the second character in the word "曜日" (yōbi in Japanese, yàorì in Chinese), which designates the days of the week, such as 月曜日 for Monday or 日曜日 for Sunday. In classical Chinese, it often appears in compounds related to celestial bodies and brightness, and its structure combines the radical for "sun" on the left with a phonetic component on the right. This character thus serves both a practical and poetic role, linking the concept of luminous celestial bodies to the systematic naming of weekdays in modern Japanese and occasionally in Korean and Chinese contexts.
