U+4EC9 "仉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
仉
U+4EC9 "仉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily as a surname, most notably associated with the philosopher Mencius’s mother, Zhǎng (仉氏), who is celebrated in Chinese culture for her wisdom in raising her son. It is composed of the radical "亻" (person) on the left and the phonetic component "几" (small table) on the right, though its meaning is often tied to family names rather than a standalone common word. In modern Chinese, it is rarely used outside of surnames and appears in historical texts and genealogical records.
