U+5986 "妆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5986 "妆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "makeup" or "to adorn" and is commonly used in words related to cosmetics and personal grooming, such as "化妆" (huà zhuāng) meaning to apply makeup or "妆容" (zhuāng róng) referring to one's overall makeup look. This ideograph originates from traditional Chinese script, where its structure combines the radical for "woman" or "female" with a phonetic component, reflecting its historical association with feminine beauty and adornment practices. In modern usage, it extends beyond physical makeup to describe metaphorical embellishment or dressing up in various contexts, such as in writing or stage performance, and it remains a standard character in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems.
