U+59E7 "姧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+59E7 "姧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that functions as a variant form of the more common character 奸 (jiān), which primarily conveys meanings of wickedness, treachery, or evil intent, often in a moral or interpersonal context. This character is composed of the radical 女 (meaning woman) and possibly a phonetic or semantic component, but in modern usage it is largely archaic or relegated to specialized historical texts. Its encoding in the Unicode standard allows for consistent digital representation across systems, preserving its role in classical literature, calligraphy, or linguistic studies where precise character forms are necessary. While not common in everyday writing, it remains a part of the extensive CJK Unified Ideographs block used for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
