雨
U+96E8 "雨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram representing the concept of rain in multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It depicts a stylized image of raindrops falling from a cloud, with the top horizontal stroke symbolizing the sky and the internal dots and lines representing precipitation. This character is used in a wide range of vocabulary, from words for weather and seasons to metaphors for abundance or cleansing, and it appears as a radical in many other complex characters that relate to water or atmospheric phenomena. Its meaning has remained consistent for millennia, tracing back to ancient oracle bone script, making it a fundamental element in the written languages of East Asia.
