U+98AA "颪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
颪
U+98AA "颪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively rare Chinese character composed of the radical for wind (風) above the component for below (下), literally conveying the concept of "wind descending" or "wind blowing downward." In Japanese, this character is known as "oroshi" and specifically refers to a strong, cold mountain wind that descends from the peaks into valleys, often associated with the powerful seasonal gusts that sweep down slopes in autumn and winter. Although not commonly used in everyday modern Chinese or Japanese text, it appears in specialized contexts such as poetry, meteorology, and regional place names to evoke this natural phenomenon of descending wind.
