Tips

history
燏 has essentially no standalone use in modern Chinese; it means the radiance of fire and survives almost only as a character chosen for personal names. It is the fire radical 火 plus the phonetic 矞, the same phonetic in 谲 and 鹬.
register
Rare and onomastic; in ordinary speech 火光 is used for firelight.

Components

radical
火 huǒ
fire
火 is the fire radical in left-side form. It supplies the meaning directly — this character is about the light and glow given off by fire.
phonetic
矞 yù
to bore through; bright (phonetic)
矞 supplies the sound yù and carries a faint sense of brightness, fitting a fiery glow. The same phonetic appears in 谲 and 鹬.
