U+5A18 "娘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
娘
U+5A18 "娘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "mother," "young woman," or "girl," and originates from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block. In modern Mandarin, it often appears in terms like "niáng" to refer to one's mother or in compounds such as "gūniang" meaning "young lady." Historically, the character was used to denote a woman of childbearing age and sometimes carries a respectful or affectionate tone. Its structure combines the radical for "woman" (女) with the component "良" (meaning good or bright), reflecting cultural associations with nurturing femininity.
