U+5A06 "娆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5A06 "娆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "graceful," "elegant," or "charming," often used in classical and modern Chinese texts to describe feminine beauty or allure. It is composed of the radical "女" (woman) on the left, which indicates its association with feminine qualities, and the phonetic component "尧" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "ráo" in Mandarin. This character appears in literary contexts, such as in the phrase "妖娆" (yāo ráo), meaning "enchanting" or "seductive," and is also found in historical poetry and prose to depict delicate or alluring appearances. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it serves as a standard character for written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though its usage is more prominent in Chinese linguistic traditions.
