U+972A "霪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+972A "霪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the rain radical (⻗) over the ideograph for “long” or “prolonged,” and it primarily signifies excessive or relentless rain, often connoting a long and heavy downpour that leads to flooding or waterlogging. In classical and modern Chinese usage, this character appears in words like “霪雨” (yínyǔ), meaning a prolonged and damaging rainy spell, and it carries a negative connotation of something overabundant or troublesome, such as “霪威” to describe an unrestrained display of power. The character is also used in Japanese as a kanji with similar meanings, though it is relatively rare in everyday writing. Historically, it reflects the cultural importance of weather phenomena in East Asian agrarian societies, where prolonged rain could threaten crops and livelihoods.
