U+9730 "霰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
霰
U+9730 "霰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to graupel or small pellets of ice, often described as soft hail or sleet that falls in cold weather. It appears in classical and modern Chinese texts to denote these frozen precipitation particles that are less dense than true hail and typically form when supercooled water droplets freeze onto snowflakes. The character itself combines the "rain" radical (雨) with the phonetic component "散" (meaning to scatter or disperse), evoking both the meteorological context and the way these ice pellets scatter as they fall from the sky.
