U+59B2 "妲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+59B2 "妲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in proper names and historical texts. It is most famously known as the second character in the name Daji, the legendary and infamous concubine of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty in Chinese mythology and history, often depicted as a malevolent figure who contributed to the dynasty's downfall. In modern usage, the character itself carries no common standalone meaning but is recognized as a specific, archaic name element. It is coded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, representing a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, though its practical application remains largely confined to classical references and personal names.
