U+7FCC "翌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7FCC "翌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that primarily conveys the meanings of "next" or "the following," as in "the next day," "the following year," or "the subsequent era," often used in compound words like 翌日 (yokujitsu in Japanese, yìrì in Chinese) for "the next day" or 翌年 (yokunen/yìnián) for "the following year." Its etymology derives from a combination of components, with a "sun" or "day" radical (日) and a phonetic element suggesting a sense of covering or transitioning, reflecting its role in marking temporal succession. In modern usage across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (where it is read as ik in 한자), this character predominantly appears in formal, literary, or time-related contexts rather than everyday conversation, serving as a precise way to denote what comes immediately after.
