奴
U+5974 "奴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically means "slave" or "servant" and is composed of the radicals for "woman" (女) and "hand" (又), reflecting its ancient association with female servitude or subjugation. In modern usage, it appears in compound words with related meanings, such as "núlì" (奴隶) for "slave" and "núyì" (奴役) for "enslavement," though it is also found in historical and literary contexts. The character carries a deeply negative connotation due to its ties to class hierarchy and oppression, making it a sensitive term in contemporary discourse.
