U+598A "妊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
妊
U+598A "妊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "pregnant" or "conception," often used in contexts related to pregnancy and childbirth. In Japanese, it is used in the kanji compound "妊娠" (ninshin), which directly translates to "pregnancy," and in Korean, it appears in the hanja form "임" (im), as in "임신" (imsin), also meaning pregnancy. Historically, the character combines the radical "女" (woman) with the phonetic component "壬" (which itself conveys ideas of burden or responsibility), symbolizing the state of carrying a child. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block, making it legible across these languages with shared meanings related to human reproduction.
