妗
U+5997 "妗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified writing systems. It is pronounced "jìn" in Mandarin and primarily refers to a maternal uncle's wife, making it a term for "aunt" or specifically "wife of one's mother's brother." In the context of Chinese kinship terminology, this character denotes a distinct familial relationship, often appearing in classical literature and modern conversations to address or describe that relative. Its structure combines the radical for "woman" (女) with the phonetic component "今" , reflecting its semantic and phonetic composition as a logogram in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified script.
