U+5A8C "媌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
媌
U+5A8C "媌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a woman of pleasing appearance, often associated with beauty or feminine charm, and in classical contexts it can also denote a prostitute or a concubine. This character is composed of the radical "女" (nǚ), meaning woman or female, and the phonetic component "卯" (mǎo), which provides a clue to its pronunciation. It is primarily used in literary or historical Chinese texts rather than in modern everyday language, and its usage has largely faded as contemporary Mandarin has simplified or replaced such terms with more neutral vocabulary.
