U+5995 "妕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5995 "妕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character used primarily in historical or classical texts, where it is a variant form of the character 仲, which means "middle" or "second" in the context of birth order among siblings. Its structural composition combines the radical 女, meaning "woman" or "female," with the phonetic component 中 (zhōng, meaning "center" or "middle"), and it appears in some ancient dictionaries and inscriptions to denote a woman of intermediate rank or position. In modern standard Chinese, however, this character is obsolete and not commonly encountered in everyday writing or speech.
