Tips

history
Not used as a common word in modern Chinese; 明亮 covers 'bright'. It survives mainly as a name character, as in the last Southern Song emperor 赵昺, and is a variant of 炳.
register
Archaic and onomastic only — seen in classical texts and personal names, not in everyday speech.

Components

radical
日 rì
sun
The sun radical 日 on top supplies the meaning directly — sunlight, hence bright and glorious.
phonetic
丙 bǐng
the 3rd heavenly stem; here phonetic
The lower 丙 supplies the sound bǐng exactly, the same phonetic seen in 炳 (also 'bright') and 柄.
