CJK Unified Ideograph-70Aa

炪 is a rare Chinese character for firelight, read zhuo. It also survives as an old variant of 拙, clumsy. In modern text, let the surrounding words decide which sense applies.

Text symbol

What 炪 means

Firelight; in older texts, it can also stand for 拙.

The Han-era Shuowen Jiezi defines 炪 as firelight, pairing fire 火 with 出 for sound. Its quotation of the Documents uses 炪 where later editions write 拙, hence the variant reading. Later dictionaries add chù senses for smoky fire and fire sound.

What does 炪 mean in a message?

Its sender's context matters; it has no settled chat reading.

As of 2026 no documented chat convention exists for 炪, so read it from surrounding text. It is a font-dependent text character, not emoji art, so copy it from the palette above if it will not type.
