U+59EB "姫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

姫

U+59EB "姫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used primarily in Japanese and occasionally in traditional Chinese contexts, where it typically means "princess," "lady," or "noblewoman," deriving from a combination of the radical for "woman" and a phonetic component suggesting bending or submission, though its structure is distinct from the similar simplified Chinese character "姬." In Japanese, it is commonly found in words like "hime" (princess) and appears in names, titles, and historical or literary references to high-ranking female figures.
