U+96EC "雬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+96EC "雬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that primarily appears in historical or classical texts rather than modern usage. According to available linguistic records, this logograph is composed of the "rain" radical (雨, meaning rain) on top and the phonetic component "否" (fǒu, meaning not or no) beneath, though its exact meaning is poorly attested and may vary by context. In some traditional dictionaries, "雬" is noted to denote a type of drizzly or misty rain, akin to a light, fine rain in old Chinese meteorological terminology. However, due to its extreme rarity, it is not part of the standard modern Chinese vocabulary and is mostly encountered in specialized scholarly work on ancient scripts or historical lexicons. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures digital preservation for academic and research purposes.
