U+59D1 "姑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
姑
U+59D1 "姑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "aunt" or "paternal aunt" (specifically one's father's sister) in modern Mandarin, and it also carries historical and literary connotations relating to a husband's mother or a young unmarried woman. Composed of the radical 女 (woman) on the left and the phonetic component 古 (gu) on the right, its structure reflects a semantic-phonetic compound. Beyond its familial usage, the character appears in terms like 姑娘 (gūniang, meaning "girl" or "daughter") and is commonly found in classical texts, proverbs, and honorific expressions in East Asian cultures that use Chinese characters.
