U+59EF "姯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
姯
U+59EF "姯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the radical for "woman" (女) on the left and the phonetic component "光" (guāng, meaning "light" or "radiance") on the right. Its traditional meaning is associated with a woman's bright, radiant, or beautiful appearance, similar to the idea of being glowing or graceful. However, this character is not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese, and its usage appears predominantly in historical or literary contexts, such as classical poetry or personal names where unique or evocative characters are chosen.
