Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8679 "虹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "rainbow" in both traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean contexts. This ideograph combines the radical for "insect" or "reptile" with a phonetic component, reflecting an ancient belief that a rainbow was a huge, multi colored serpent or dragon bridging the heavens and the earth. In modern usage, the character appears in words for "rainbow" across East Asian languages, such as "hóng" in Mandarin, "niji" in Japanese, and "hong" in Korean, and it also carries symbolic meanings of hope, connection, and beauty due to the natural phenomenon it represents.
