U+59B0 "妰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+59B0 "妰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character composed of the female radical 女 and the phonetic component 乍, primarily used in classical texts with meanings related to a woman who is active, clever, or particularly in ancient contexts, referring to a form of female beauty or charm. It does not appear in common modern Chinese writing but can be found in historical dictionaries and literary works, where its usage is often obscure, sometimes relating to the idea of a woman’s graceful or enticing manner. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it represents a shared cultural heritage in East Asian script, though its practical applications today are limited to specialized philological studies or digital font support for ancient character sets.
