U+59BD "妽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
妽
U+59BD "妽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that belongs to the Kangxi radical 38 for "woman" (女) and carries a right side component often associated with the sound or meaning of "伸" or "申." In classical Chinese, it is an archaic term used to refer to a female deity or a divine woman, and it appears in ancient texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" where it is defined as "a goddess" or "a spirit woman." This character is rarely used in modern everyday writing but is occasionally encountered in historical or literary contexts, particularly in works discussing mythology or ancient rites.
