Source: Browser Default
U+70B7 "炷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily functions as a noun meaning "candle wick" or "lamp wick," and by extension, it can also refer to a "lamp" or "lantern" itself. As an ideograph, it combines the fire radical (火) with the character 主 (zhǔ, meaning "master" or "host"), which also serves as a phonetic component, suggesting "that which is the master of the flame" or the central burning part of a light source. In classical and modern Chinese, it is often used in contexts involving traditional oil lamps, incense sticks, or candles, where the wick is the essential element for combustion. It is pronounced as "zhù" in Mandarin Chinese and is listed in the Kangxi Dictionary under the radical for fire.
