U+9708 "霈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
霈
U+9708 "霈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means a heavy rain or downpour, often evoking the image of a torrential rainfall. It is composed of the rain radical 雨 on top, signifying weather-related meanings, and the phonetic component 沛 below, which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese as "pèi." Beyond its literal meteorological sense, this character is also used in classical Chinese texts and personal names, sometimes carrying metaphorical connotations of abundance or a sudden, overwhelming flow, much like a deluge from the heavens.
