U+96EA "雪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
雪
U+96EA "雪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that represents the Chinese character for "snow," pronounced as "xuě" in Mandarin Chinese. It is composed of a radical for rain (雨) at the top, which signifies its meteorological association, and a phonetic component below that hints at its pronunciation. In East Asian cultures, this character appears frequently in poetry, art, and seasonal references, evoking imagery of winter, purity, and tranquility. It is encoded in Unicode under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, allowing it to be consistently used across digital platforms for writing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where its meaning remains largely the same.
