U+970D "霍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

霍

U+970D "霍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "suddenly" or "swiftly," often associated with the sound or motion of something happening abruptly, like a clap of thunder. This ideograph is composed of a semantic component related to rain or weather and a phonetic element, reflecting its historical use in Classical Chinese texts to describe sudden precipitation or a startled reaction. In modern usage, it frequently appears in compound words such as "霍然" (huòrán, meaning suddenly) and "霍乱" (huòluàn, a term for cholera, where it connotes the swift onset of the disease). The character also serves as a common surname in Chinese culture, adding to its significance in personal names and historical records.
