U+5A9A "媚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

媚

U+5A9A "媚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily conveys meanings related to charm, flattery, or alluring beauty. It is composed of the radical for "woman" (女) on the left, which hints at its semantic association with feminine qualities, and the phonetic component "眉" (méi, meaning eyebrow) on the right, which provides the approximate pronunciation "mèi" in Mandarin. In classical and modern usage, the character often appears in words such as "妖媚" (yāomèi, seductive) or "谄媚" (chǎnmèi, to flatter), and it carries both positive connotations of enchanting grace and negative implications of manipulative or excessive ingratiation. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block, reflecting its shared usage across these East Asian writing systems.
