U+59DF "姟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
姟
U+59DF "姟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in writing various East Asian languages, primarily in classical or literary contexts. This character is composed of the radical "女" (nǚ, meaning "woman" or "female") on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right, and it traditionally carries meanings related to a term for a woman in service or a female attendant, though its usage is rare in modern standard Chinese and is more often encountered in historical or specialized texts. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it represents a distinct graphic form shared across these writing systems, each with its own pronunciation and possible semantic nuances.
