倝

glowing light of the rising sun

倝 is composed of 旦 (dawn) and a variant of 㫃 (fluttering flags). 旦 represents the rising of the morning sun, while 㫃 is a pictograph of a banner or flag. Therefore, 倝 conveys the idea that the radiance at sunrise is as dazzling as fluttering banners. Nowadays, 倝 is no longer used independently and only appears as a component in other characters.
