U+96E9 "雩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
雩
U+96E9 "雩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that refers to a type of ancient rainmaking ritual or prayer, specifically an invocation for rain during a drought. The ideograph is composed of the "rain" radical (雨) above the phonetic component "于" (yu), visually connecting the concept of precipitation with ceremonial action. In classical texts, such as the Zhouli (Rites of Zhou), 雩 denotes both the sacrificial ceremony and the raised platform used for such prayers, often conducted by shamans or officials during times of agricultural need.
