U+7156 "煖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7156 "煖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that appears in the Kangxi Dictionary and is primarily used as a variant form of the character 暖 (nuǎn), meaning "warm" or "to warm." Its structure combines the fire radical 火 (huǒ) on the left with 爰 (yuán) on the right, which provides a phonetic component. In classical texts, 煖 can denote both literal warmth, such as the heat of a fire or sun, and figurative warmth, like kindness or emotional comfort. It is historically common in traditional Chinese poetry and philosophy, where it contrasts with coldness or indifference. While less commonly used in modern simplified Chinese, it remains part of the traditional Chinese and Japanese writing systems, recognized for its nuanced association with gentle, sustained heat.
