Meanings and usage

adjective: bright; splendid, flourishing; harmonious
熙

The character carries several divergent literary senses (bright/splendid, harmonious, to rise/flourish) plus an unrelated alt_of 嬉 'to frolic', with no clear indication which best represents standalone Teochew usage (often used as a name element).
