Unicode Version 17.0
婕
U+5A55 "婕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a type of female attendant or court lady, often specifically associated with the imperial harem in ancient China, where it was used in the compound "婕妤" (jieyu) to denote a high-ranking concubine or lady-in-waiting. This character combines the radical "女" (woman) on the left, indicating its feminine connotation, with the phonetic component "疌" on the right, which suggests the pronunciation. In modern usage, "婕" is less common but still appears in classical texts, historical references, and personal names, preserving its ancient connection to elegance and courtly roles within Chinese culture.
