U+98B8 "颸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+98B8 "颸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of a cool or gentle breeze, often associated with a light, refreshing wind. It is composed of the radical for wind on the outside, with a phonetic component inside that influences its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is read as "si" or "shi". This character is not commonly used in modern simplified Chinese but appears in classical literary works and poetry to evoke a sense of subtle, pleasant airflow, and it retains its traditional form in contexts where full character sets are preserved, such as in historical texts or certain calligraphic traditions.
