U+712F "焯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+712F "焯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to blanch or scald vegetables in boiling water, often as a preliminary cooking step to remove bitterness or prepare ingredients for further preparation. It also carries a secondary meaning of being bright or shining, linking to its radical "火" (fire) and the phonetic component "卓" which implies prominence. In classical texts, the character can be used metaphorically to indicate clarity or brilliance, such as in literary descriptions of radiant light. Modern usage remains common in Chinese cuisine vocabulary, though it appears less frequently in everyday writing outside of cooking contexts.
