U+59E0 "姠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+59E0 "姠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that carries the meaning of a housekeeper or a woman in charge of domestic duties. This character is composed of the radical for woman, nü, on the left side, and a phonetic component on the right, which combines the meanings of both components to convey its specific definition. Historically, it was used in classical Chinese texts to refer to female servants or managers of household affairs, reflecting social roles in traditional Chinese society. In modern usage, the character is considered quite rare and is not commonly employed in everyday language, but it remains part of the broader CJK unified ideograph set for digital text representation across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
