U+5A8D "媍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5A8D "媍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically appears in classical Chinese texts, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin. Its composition combines the radical for "woman" (女) with a phonetic component, and it is often interpreted as meaning "a married woman" or "housewife," sometimes carrying connotations of servitude or submission. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which encompasses a vast set of shared characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese scripts. While "媍" is exceptionally rare in contemporary usage, it may appear in historical documents or specialized linguistic studies, representing a specific cultural or lexical nuance from earlier periods of written Chinese.
