煨燼(上猥迴反廣雅煨猶熅也說文煨盆中火也從火煨聲下辭盡反俗字也正從火作燼方言云燼猶火餘也杜注左傳燼火燒餘木也故御注孝經序云況泯絕於秦得之者皆煨燼之末說文從火作燼從盡省聲也)。

Embers and ashes (for the first [character 煨], w- + [h]ui [wēi]; the Guangya says: “'Wei' is like smouldering fire.” The Shuowen says: “'Wei' is fire within a basin. It follows 火 (fire) and has 畏 as its phonetic.” For the second [character 燼], c- + [j]in [jìn]; this is a vulgar character; the standard form follows 火 (fire) as 燼. The Fangyan says: “'Jin' is like leftover fire.” Du's commentary to the Zuo commentary says: “'Jin' is wood remaining after being burned by fire.” Therefore, the Imperial Commentary to the Classic of Filial Piety Preface says: “How much more so when destroyed under Qin, what was obtained was all the remnants of embers and ashes.” The Shuowen gives it following 火 (fire) as 燼, with an abbreviated 盡 as phonetic).
