U+9718 "霘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9718 "霘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical for rain, and its structure combines the rain radical with a phonetic component suggesting a hollow or empty space. This character is historically associated with meanings related to a deep, hollow cave or a cavity within a mountain, often implying a dark, cavernous void. In classical Chinese texts, it appears infrequently, primarily in literary or technical descriptions of geography or architecture, and it is not commonly employed in modern written Chinese or standard vocabulary, reflecting its status as an obscure or archaic glyph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set.
