U+59D2 "姒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
姒
U+59D2 "姒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically served as a surname and also appears as a component in ancient Chinese given names, most notably as the clan name of the legendary Xia dynasty rulers, including Yu the Great. The character is composed of the radical for "woman" (女) on the left, suggesting a female association, and a phonetic component on the right. In classical texts, it sometimes carries the meaning of "elder sister" or "wife of a younger brother," though its primary usage today remains tied to its rare historical surname and literary references.
