U+5A38 "娸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5A38 "娸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that appears in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, a standard collection of logographic scripts used in East Asian writing systems. This particular character is composed of the radical for "woman" or "female" on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, and it is primarily used in historical or classical Chinese contexts. Its meanings, as recorded in traditional dictionaries, include notions of ugliness, disfigurement, or abusive language, often referring to a woman with a coarse or malevolent nature. The character is not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese, Korean, or Japanese texts, making it a less familiar glyph primarily of interest to scholars studying ancient literature or historical language forms.
