U+5AA7 "媧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
媧
U+5AA7 "媧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to the legendary goddess Nüwa, a central figure in Chinese mythology known for repairing the sky and creating humanity from clay. This ideograph combines the radical for "woman" with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical texts and historical contexts rather than in modern everyday usage. In simplified Chinese, the character is written as "娲," and its meaning remains closely tied to the mythic founder of Chinese civilization.
