U+597A "奺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+597A "奺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that belongs to the Kangxi radical 38 for "woman" (女) and has a total of 7 strokes. Historically, its meaning is somewhat obscure, but it has been associated with an old, possibly obsolete term for an elderly woman or a female elder, though it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese and appears more often in classical texts or archaic dictionaries. The character is formed by combining the radical for "woman" with the phonetic component "久" (jiu, meaning long time or old), which hints at its connotation of age or seniority.
