U+59CE "姎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

姎

U+59CE "姎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical and literary contexts, with its pronunciation and meaning varying across different historical periods and regional dialects. It is generally understood to refer to a female given name or a term for a woman, often appearing in ancient texts and poetry to denote a lady or a young woman, and it occasionally conveys a sense of elegance or beauty. The character is composed of the radical 女 (woman) and the phonetic component 央 (center), which hints at its phonetic similarity to words like "yāng" in Mandarin, though its usage in modern Chinese is rare and largely restricted to specialized or scholarly references.
