U+59C8 "姈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
姈
U+59C8 "姈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that combines the radical for "woman" on the left with the phonetic component "令" on the right, and its primary historical meaning is "a maiden who is clever, intelligent, or skilled," often used in classical texts to describe a woman of exceptional talent or refinement. While it is considered a rare or obscure character in modern usage, it occasionally appears in personal names or literary contexts, particularly in traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji systems, where it retains its connotation of feminine grace and wisdom.
