U+59F1 "姱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

姱

U+59F1 "姱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "beautiful" or "handsome," often used to describe a woman's appearance, though it can also carry connotations of extravagance or coquettishness in certain classical contexts. This character is composed of a left-side radical "女" (meaning "woman" or "female") and a right-side component "夸" (which itself means "to boast" or "to praise"), suggesting a visual and semantic blend of femininity and display. In traditional Chinese literature, such as in the Chu Ci anthology, "姱" appears in descriptive passages to evoke admiration for a person's grace or to critique excessive vanity. It is not commonly used in modern simplified Chinese, but it remains a part of classical vocabulary studied in historical and cultural contexts.
