U+59E9 "姩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
姩
U+59E9 "姩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the radical for "woman" on the left and the phonetic component "年" (meaning year) on the right. In classical and modern Chinese, its primary meanings relate to a daughter-in-law or a young woman, and it can also be interpreted as a variant or archaic form of other characters involving marriage or familial relations. While not common in everyday writing, it appears in certain historical texts and specialized lexicons, reflecting the nuanced ways the Chinese script has evolved to denote kinship roles through graphical combination.
