U+9F15 "鼕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鼕
U+9F15 "鼕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily represents the sound of a drum being beaten, often used as an onomatopoeia for a loud, deep, or rumbling noise, such as thunder or the beating of a large ceremonial drum. This character combines the "drum" radical (鼓) with the phonetic component "冬" (dong, meaning winter), indicating both its meaning and pronunciation in Mandarin as "dōng." It appears in classical Chinese literature and poetry to evoke dramatic auditory imagery, particularly in descriptions of military processions or stormy weather.
