U+707E "灾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "disaster," "calamity," or "catastrophe," often referring to natural or man-made misfortunes such as floods, fires, or other destructive events. Its composition combines the radical for fire (火) over the radical for water (川 or a variant of it), symbolizing the conflicting elements of fire and water that can cause widespread harm. This character is commonly used in modern Chinese vocabulary, appearing in words like "灾难" (zāinàn, meaning disaster) and "火灾" (huǒzāi, meaning fire disaster), and it carries a strong cultural connotation of adversity and the need for resilience.
