U+98BE "颾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
颾
U+98BE "颾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character that primarily relates to wind and sound, specifically describing the murmur or sighing noise of the wind or a gentle, whistling breeze. In classical Chinese texts, it can appear in poetic or descriptive contexts to evoke the auditory sensation of air moving through trees or open spaces, emphasizing its ephemeral, natural quality. While not common in modern Mandarin, it retains a niche presence in literary or historical writing, where it functions as a vivid onomatopoeic or atmospheric term within the broader lexicon of wind-related characters.
