Unicode Version 17.0
妝
U+599D "妝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "makeup" or "to adorn" and is commonly used in words such as 化妝 (makeup) and 梳妝 (to dress one's hair and apply cosmetics). It consists of the radical 女 (woman) on the left and the phonetic component 丬 (pronounced zhuāng or similar in certain dialects) on the right, reflecting its origin as a compound ideograph where the female radical indicates the cultural association of beautification practices. This character is primarily used in traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji, with its simplified counterpart being 妆 in mainland Chinese writing.
