U+59B1 "妱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
妱
U+59B1 "妱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in historical or classical texts, comprising a left radical for “woman” and a right component associated with “to shine” or “to illuminate,” suggesting meanings related to a woman’s radiance or a name in ancient contexts. This character is part of the Cjk Unified Ideographs block, encoded to represent a specific logograph from the Han script, though it is rarely used in modern Standard Chinese. Its structure and definition trace back to older dictionaries like the Kangxi Zidian, where it is defined as a woman’s name or a term for brightness, highlighting its niche role in preserving linguistic heritage.
