U+973C "霼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
霼
U+973C "霼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that falls under the radical for rain (雨) and carries the meaning of a misty or cloudy appearance, often associated with the idea of vapor or haze. It is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, but it appears in historical or classical texts as part of the broader set of traditional CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideographs. This character is defined in the Unicode Standard to preserve ancient logographic diversity, and its structure combines the rain radical with phonetic components to convey a sense of atmospheric obscurity. Due to its obscurity, it may not be supported by all fonts or input methods.
