U+59A1 "妡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
妡
U+59A1 "妡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both modern and historical contexts, primarily found in personal names. It belongs to the radical for woman (女, radical 38) and combines this with the phonetic component 斤 (jīn, meaning "axe" or "catty"). The character 妡 itself carries no widely recognized standalone meaning in standard Mandarin vocabulary; its usage is largely restricted to onomastics, where it often conveys a sense of feminine grace or preciousness through its association with the concept of being "like a new or fine thing." In the Unicode standard, it is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, encoded for consistent digital representation across systems.
