U+972F "霯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
霯
U+972F "霯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that appears in the traditional Kangxi dictionary and some historical texts, where it is defined as a component of the word for a sudden downpour or a heavy rainstorm. Specifically, it is composed of the "rain" radical (雨) combined with a phonetic element (朕 or 腾), and its pronunciation in modern Mandarin is approximately "tèng" or "téng". This character is not commonly found in contemporary Chinese writing and is largely considered a historical or classical logograph, with its primary usage confined to specialized lexicographical contexts or archaic poetic descriptions of weather events.
