U+5A04 "娄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

娄

U+5A04 "娄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a surname but also serves as a component in various compound words and names. In modern Chinese usage, it is often associated with the meaning "to pull" or "to drag," and it appears in terms like "娄子" (lóuzi), meaning "trouble" or "disaster," as well as in classical literary references. Historically, the character traces back to ancient Chinese scripts, where it was used in the name of the state of Lou during the Zhou dynasty and also appears in the Confucian classic "The Analects." Its structure combines the radical for "woman" (女) with elements suggesting a sense of gathering or connecting, though its exact etymology reflects layers of semantic evolution over centuries.
