Source: Browser Default
U+9716 "霖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "continuous heavy rain" or "downpour," often implying a long-lasting, drenching rain that soaks the ground. It is composed of the "rain" radical (雨) on top and the phonetic component "林" (lin, meaning forest) below, visually suggesting rain falling on trees. In East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, this character appears in compound words like "甘霖" (sweet rain, a metaphor for a long-awaited blessing) and is used in personal names to evoke qualities of abundance or nourishment.
