U+9723 "霣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9723 "霣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means a thunderbolt or thunderclap, specifically referring to a sudden, violent thunderstorm or the sound of thunder, and it can also denote the act of falling from the sky, such as a meteorite or a great fall, often carrying a sense of abruptness and power. In classical Chinese texts, this character appears in literary and poetic contexts to describe dramatic celestial events or metaphorical downfalls, and it is composed of the radical for rain on top and a phonetic component suggesting movement or collapse. Though rarely used in modern daily writing, it remains part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a specialized and evocative term within the broader Chinese lexicon.
