CJK Unified Ideograph 2ECF0

Its documented source is a Chinese government ID system. The source label GIDC23-257 identifies a 2023 entry in China's Ministry of Public Security ID system. The chart's fire radical is an indexing aid, not a word meaning; its source row gives no spoken reading for this exact entry. Unicode fast-tracked the 622-character Extension I group in 2023 after it appeared in a draft update to China's GB 18030 coded-character standard, because the group was urgently needed for use in China.

Why does 𮳰 look like 煔?

It shares a printed form with an older, separate character. The Extension I proposal draws 𮳰 in the same form as 煔 (U+7154), a different character. The Shuowen Jiezi—an early Chinese character dictionary completed around 100 CE—glosses 煔 as “fire in motion.” Later Chinese dictionaries record senses for flickering, firelight, partly cooking meat, and a tree name; they connect its flickering sense with 閃 (“flash”) and the tree name with 杉. Those meanings belong to 煔, not automatically to 𮳰.
