U+9F97 "龗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F97 "龗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and highly complex Chinese character that belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block. This character represents an archaic or obscure term, often associated with the concept of a "dragon" or "rain dragon," as it is composed of the radical for "dragon" (龍) and the phonetic component for "rain" (雨), reflecting a traditional mythological or meteorological meaning. Due to its extreme rarity and difficulty in rendering or inputting, it is seldom used in modern writing and primarily appears in historical texts, specialized dictionaries, or as a technical curiosity within Unicode standards. Its high stroke count and intricate structure make it one of the more esoteric characters in the Unicode repertoire, often noted in discussions of rare Hanzi.
