U+59A0 "妠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

妠

U+59A0 "妠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is relatively rare and not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin. Its pronunciation varies depending on the dialect and historical context, but in Mandarin it can be read as "nà" or "nè". The character is composed of the radical "女" (nǚ), meaning "woman" or "female," combined with the phonetic component "内" (nèi), which contributes to its sound. Historically, "妠" has been used as a female given name or to denote a personal name in ancient texts, though it may also appear in certain classical or regional writings. Due to its obscurity, it is not a standard character in everyday Chinese usage and is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics or those studying ancient Chinese nomenclature.
