妿
U+59BF "妿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily functions as a surname or a component in historical texts, though its usage is extremely limited in modern language. It belongs to the radical "女" (woman) with a total stroke count of 9, and its pronunciation is typically given as "ē" or "ā" in Mandarin, though this is not standardized due to its obscurity. The character does not appear in common dictionaries or everyday writing, and its meaning is often considered obscure or lost, making it a glyph of interest primarily for paleographers and researchers of ancient Chinese epigraphy.
