86.20

煒曅 (The upper [character] is wei + gui [wěi]. The Kaosheng [says]: "煒曄 is the appearance of brilliant, flourishing splendour." The Shuowen also [says]: "The appearance of flourishing brightness; it derives from 火 [fire] with 韋 as phonetic." It is also written with 日 [sun] as 暐, which is also acceptable. The lower [character] is yan + zhe [yè]. In the Kaosheng it is properly written as [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)]. The Shuowen [notes that it] derives from 日 [sun] with 華 as phonetic. Nowadays it is written as 燁 or as 曄, which are vulgar variant forms.)
