U+5990 "妐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
妐
U+5990 "妐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically refers to a husband's father (that is, a woman's father-in-law). It is composed of the radical "女" meaning woman or female, and a phonetic component "公" meaning public or grandfather, blending familial in-law relationships into its meaning. In classical texts it appears alongside related terms like "嫜" for a husband's mother, but it is not commonly found in modern Chinese writing, making it a specialized character primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics or classical literature.
