U+59B3 "妳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
妳
U+59B3 "妳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that serves as a second-person singular pronoun specifically used to address a female person, equivalent to "you" in English. It is a variant of the more common character "你" (also meaning "you"), but is distinguished by the presence of the "woman" radical (女) on the left side, which explicitly indicates a female referent. This character is primarily used in traditional Chinese writing, especially in contexts where gender specification is desired, such as in romantic or respectful address, though its usage has declined in modern Mandarin, where "你" is now commonly used for all genders without distinction.
