The name. Unicode name UMBRELLA WITH RAIN DROPS, U+2614. The picture on a phone is the vendor’s. The character is the code point.
Where it comes from
The official name includes the drops, which is why people treat it as “the rain emoji.” WWIS still has its own rain, shower, and drizzle labels. A station plot uses a present-weather sign, not this character. Vendors draw the drops and the canopy differently. The code point does not change.
The line drawing is original to this cabinet. It is not an agency logo, a vendor icon, or the emoji for the same idea.

What it means
You can paste it to suggest rain in a message. You cannot cite it as the symbol a meteorological service issued. If the message needs the forecast’s distinction, rain, shower, and drizzle are three pages.
Variants
Vendor art
Apple, Google, and other vendors draw one code point in different colors and shapes. None of those drawings is a WMO icon, and none of them is the line art on this page.
Worth knowing
- U+2614 is the Unicode name UMBRELLA WITH RAIN DROPS. Vendors may draw it as a color emoji. The character is still the code point. Source
