The character developed from a pictogram that shows four drops of water falling from a cloud that hangs in the sky like a container. As a bearer of meaning, 雨 places its symbols in the meaning field of rain and other meteorological phenomena such as 雪 (= snow), 雷 (= thunder, trigram ), 雲 (= clouds), 雾 (= fog) and 霜 (= frost). 零 (= zero) originally denoted slowly falling rain, hence 雨 in the head. 霍 (= suddenly) was initially written below with two birds 隹 隹. Birds fly up when it rains, and this fluttering sound should reproduce 霍霍 (huohuo).
The meaning carrier rain 雨 in 霍 results from this connection. 霸 (= tyrant) originally referred to the first two or three days of the month in the lunar calendar when the moon can hardly be seen. The pronunciation of 霸 (ba) was p. The sign therefore consists of the moon 月 (yu) and the pronounced sound carrier components 雨 and 革 (= leather). Xu Shen explained this in his Shuowen Jiezi : Rain soaks the leather. This means that the rain 雨 in the sign 霸 (ba = tyrant) does not appear as such, but only as part of the original sound carrier component made up of 雨 and 革, which is no longer used today.
