U+9712 "霒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9712 "霒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideograph block and is coded primarily for use in historical or classical texts. Its composition combines the rain radical (雨) over a phonetic component related to stillness or darkness, and it traditionally refers to a state of dense, gloomy overcast skies or hidden clouds, often implying an obscured or heavy atmosphere. In modern standard Chinese, this character is largely obsolete, having been replaced by more common terms like 阴 (yīn) for overcast or cloudy conditions, but it may still appear in ancient poetry, literary works, or specialized lexicons focused on archaic script.
