U+2FAC "⾬" Kangxi Radical Rain Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2FAC "⾬" Kangxi Radical Rain is one of the 214 traditional Kangxi radicals used in Chinese character dictionaries, symbolizing the concept of rain and appearing as a component in many related characters. This radical is derived from the ancient Chinese pictograph for rain, depicting a roof or covering with falling droplets, and it commonly conveys meanings associated with weather, precipitation, or moisture when integrated into complex logograms. In modern Unicode, this specific codepoint represents the radical itself, often utilized for indexing and sorting characters in lexicographical contexts, separate from the regular CJK unified ideograph for rain (U+96E8 雨).
