Spelling variant of the radical: Abbreviation (PR China): 风

Typhoon refers to a tropical cyclone in the northwestern part of the Pacific, known in other parts of the world as a hurricane or cyclone. The word typhoon comes from Arabic in Portuguese. ṭūfān (= "flood"), this perhaps from the Greek typhōn (= "strong storm"); reinforced by Chinese taifeng (= "strong wind").

The Japanese term Kamikaze denotes the “ divine wind ” or “ breath of God ” in the form of two typhoons that failed two Mongolian attempts at conquering Kublai Khan in the 13th century (see also Kamikaze (Mongol invasion) ). Shimpū Tokkōtai (jpn. 神 風 特 攻 隊, Kamikaze special troops) was a Japanese special air force in World War II. Tokkōtai is an abbreviation for tokubetsu · kōgekitai (特別 攻 撃 隊) = "special attack force". The fact that the well-known term kamikaze does not appear in the Japanese name is due to a peculiarity of the Japanese language, which allows certain characters (the Kanji) to be pronounced differently depending on the context. Shimpū and Kamikaze are two different pronunciations of the characters 神 風. The term kamikaze itself stands in German for a suicide attack on military targets.

The abbreviation of the radical 182 is 風; with 風 character combinations from U + 98A8 to 飍 U + 98EB are coded, then with 风 from U + 98EC to 飚 U + 98DA.
