About
The character 雪 is an ideogrammatic compound combining the semantic component 雨 (rain) at the top with the lower component 彐, resembling a hand or broom. Originally, the lower section derived from a more complex form representing a broom, indicating snow is a type of precipitation that can be swept away. Over time, the meaning expanded to include anything snow-white or the action of wiping clean, as in expressions for clearing one’s name, though its primary meteorological definition remains most common today.
