U+66E9 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that appears in historical and classical texts. It is pronounced "nǎng" in Mandarin and primarily means "in former times," "formerly," or "the past," often used to refer to events or conditions that occurred long ago. This character is composed of the radical 日 (sun/day) and a phonetic component, and it is relatively rare in modern usage, being mostly encountered in literary or ancient writings rather than everyday language. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a specific concept of temporality within the broader set of Chinese characters shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
