U+9717 "霗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
霗
U+9717 "霗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that belongs to the "rain" radical (雨) and is composed of additional elements suggesting its meaning. This character primarily denotes a fine, drizzling rain or a light mist, often associated with atmospheric moisture or a gentle, pervasive dampness in classical or poetic contexts. Its usage is largely historical or literary, as it appears in ancient texts and dictionaries rather than in modern standard Mandarin, where more common characters like 霖 (continuous heavy rain) or 雾 (fog) are preferred. The character's structure combines the rain radical with phonetic and semantic components, reflecting traditional methods of character formation in the Chinese writing system.
