Readings

• Kan-on: かん (kan)^{←くわん (kwan, historical)}

Usage notes

• The Japanese representative glyph for this codepoint in Unicode has ⿳爫土夂 with 10 strokes as the bottom component. However, the character used in the Dai Kan-Wa Jiten is composed of ⿱日爰, with 9 strokes for the component 爰 below the 日 radical.

• This character is not to be confused with 暖(だん) (dan) ("warmth"), which has the same components but is ordered differently (⿰日爰) and has different pronunciations and meanings.
