U+5A08 "娈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
娈
U+5A08 "娈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally carries the meaning of "beautiful" or "graceful," often used in classical or literary contexts to describe a woman's elegance or charm. It is composed of the radical for "woman" (女) and a phonetic component that influences its pronunciation, which in Modern Standard Mandarin is "luán." Historically, the character appears in ancient texts and poetry, occasionally associated with notions of loveliness or admiration, though its usage in contemporary Chinese is relatively rare and considered more archaic or formal.
