U+59EE "姮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

姮

U+59EE "姮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is used in East Asian writing systems, specifically within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block. It is pronounced "héng" in Mandarin and primarily carries the meaning related to a woman's name, often associated with the legendary figure Chang'e, the Chinese goddess of the moon, as in "姮娥" (Héng'é), an alternative name for Chang'e. Structurally, it combines the radical for "woman" (女) on the left with the component "亘" (meaning "extend" or "continuous") on the right, and it is classified under the Kangxi radical 38 (woman). This character is rarely used in modern everyday language but retains cultural and literary significance in classical texts and poetry.
