U+9F18 "鼘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F18 "鼘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or historical texts. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 203, which is associated with "black" or "dark," and its structure combines this radical with a phonetic component. The character is generally understood to mean "thunder" or "the sound of thunder," evoking a deep, rumbling noise. Due to its obscurity, it is not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese writing, but it may be found in specialized dictionaries or ancient literary works where vivid auditory descriptions are employed.
