U+598E "妎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

妎

U+598E "妎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that historically appears in classical texts, where its meaning is primarily associated with a term for a jealous or envious woman, though it has also been interpreted as referring to a specific type of female servant or to the act of plotting. Composed of the radical "女" (woman) and the phonetic component "亥," this character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese, and its sparse attestation in literary sources makes its precise definition and usage somewhat ambiguous among scholars.
