U+973F "霿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+973F "霿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encodes historical and modern scripts used across East Asia. This character, pronounced "méng" in Mandarin, is composed of the rain radical (雨) and the phonetic component "敄," and it carries several related meanings in classical and literary contexts, including "dusk" or "dusky," "dim," "obscure," and "foggy." It is also associated with the concept of a "haze" or "mist" that obscures vision, and in ancient texts, it was sometimes used to describe a state of mental confusion or darkness. While rarely used in modern everyday Chinese, it appears in some classical poetry and specialized lexicons, reflecting the rich historical depth of the CJK script system.
