U+71A3 "熣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+71A3 "熣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character composed of the fire radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, with its precise meaning and usage varying across historical texts and regional conventions. In classical Chinese, it can represent a specific type of fire, brightness, or a related concept, though it is not commonly encountered in modern written Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block as part of the broader set of East Asian ideographs, designed to facilitate digital representation and exchange of legacy and literary texts. Its infrequent application means it is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics, paleography, or specialized calligraphy.
