Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+7149 "煉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to refine" or "to smelt," often associated with the process of heating and purifying metals such as iron or steel. It is composed of the radical for "fire" (火) on the left and the phonetic component 柬 (jiǎn) on the right, reflecting its original connection to metallurgy and chemical transformation. Beyond its literal sense, the character is metaphorically used in Chinese to describe rigorous training or the cultivation of character, as in the phrase "煉心" (refining the mind). It appears in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it retains similar meanings related to smelting, tempering, or disciplined practice.
