U+7223 "爣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7223 "爣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character belonging to the Kangxi radical 86, meaning fire or flame. This character is traditionally read as "tǎng" in Mandarin and generally implies a sense of brightness or a blazing, brilliant fire, though it is not used in modern standard Chinese and appears primarily in classical or historical texts. It is composed of the fire radical at the top and the phonetic component "黨" below, which contributes to its pronunciation. Due to its obscurity, "爣" is seldom encountered outside specialized dictionaries or ancient literature, making it a point of interest for linguists and scholars of historical Chinese script.
