The Chinese word 高温 (gāowēn) for "high temperature" is composed of two characters: 高 (gāo) meaning "high" and 温 (wēn) meaning "temperature". The character 高 is a pictograph depicting a person standing on top of a mountain, representing the concept of height or elevation. The character 温 is a combination of two radicals: 日 (rì) meaning "sun" and 云 (yún) meaning "cloud". Together, they represent the idea of warmth or heat. When combined, the two characters 高温 form the compound word for "high temperature".
