Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+70AF "炯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "bright," "luminous," or "dazzling," often used to describe a clear, shining light or a person's bright, penetrating gaze. Its composition combines the radical for fire (火) on the left with the phonetic component 冋, which suggests both sound and meaning related to illumination or clarity. In modern usage, it appears in words like 炯炯 (jiǒngjiǒng) to describe sparkling, intelligent eyes, and it is commonly found in literary contexts emphasizing brilliance or sharp perception. Despite its specific visual and semantic nuances, it remains a relatively common character in both classical and contemporary Chinese writing.
