Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+71AC "熬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "to boil," "to stew," or "to decoct," often implying a process of cooking over a slow fire to extract flavors or medicinal properties. Beyond its culinary usage, it metaphorically extends to concepts of enduring hardship or suffering through difficult circumstances, such as in the phrase "熬夜" meaning "to stay up late" or "to endure the night." The character is composed of the "fire" radical (灬) on the bottom, suggesting heat or cooking, combined with the phonetic component on top, and its strokes adhere to standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph structure.
