Unicode Version 17.0
妫
U+59AB "妫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to the Gui River, a waterway in ancient China, and is also used as a surname or a component in place names. It is composed of the radical for "woman" (女) on the left and the phonetic element 危 (wēi) on the right, though its pronunciation in Mandarin is guī. This character appears in classical texts, including the Shijing (Classic of Poetry), and is notably associated with the legendary sage king Shun, whose clan name was Gui. In modern usage, it is less common but remains in use as a surname and in the name of the Gui River in Shanxi Province.
