U+7972 "祲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
祲
U+7972 "祲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to ominous or inauspicious atmospheric phenomena, often associated with celestial signs portending evil or calamity. Historically used in classical Chinese texts, it can denote vapors, vaporous emanations, or ill omens rising from the earth, and by extension carries connotations of sorrow or suffering. Its semantic components include the radical for spiritual or sacrificial matters, reflecting its connection to portents and supernatural warnings in traditional cosmology. The character appears in ancient literature such as the Zuo Zhuan and is still recognized in modern Chinese for its specific, though rare, usage in describing negative celestial signs.
