U+66ED "曭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+66ED "曭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, with its primary meaning associated with the concept of "dazzling light" or "brightness of the sun." Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined as "日暈" (a solar halo) or "日光" (sunlight), often describing the intense, glare like radiance of the sun. The character is composed of the radical "日" (sun, day) on the left, suggesting its solar association, and the phonetic component "曭" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (tǎng in Mandarin). Due to its obscurity, it is seldom used in modern Chinese writing, but it remains a relevant entry in Unicode for scholars studying ancient literature, lexicography, or rare sinographs.
