U+5A40 "婀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

婀

U+5A40 "婀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means graceful, elegant, or lithe, often used in classical literary contexts to describe a person's delicate and attractive bearing, particularly in phrases like "婀娜" (ē nuó) which connotes a supple and charming posture. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified block of Unicode, encompassing characters used in East Asian writing systems. It is composed of the radical "女" (nǚ, meaning woman) on the left, indicating its association with femininity, and a phonetic component on the right. Historically, the character appears in classical Chinese poetry and texts to evoke images of beauty and grace, and it remains in modern usage in literary and formal descriptions, though it is less common in everyday speech.
