U+5A9C "媜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
媜
U+5A9C "媜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the radical for woman on the left and the phonetic component for zheng on the right, and it appears in classical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as a respectful term for a woman's formal name used in ritual contexts, often associated with purity or composure. This ideograph is not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese but retains relevance in historical or literary studies, particularly for understanding ancient naming practices and the depiction of feminine virtue in classical literature.
