U+5AB3 "媳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
媳
U+5AB3 "媳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "daughter-in-law" and is used in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems, as well as in Japanese Kanji, where it carries the same familial meaning. Its radical is "女" (woman), reflecting its association with female family roles, and the character is composed of this radical combined with a phonetic component suggesting the sound "xi" in Mandarin Chinese. This ideograph appears in common terms such as "媳婦" or "媳妇" (xífu) for "daughter-in-law" or "wife" in some regional contexts, and its usage is deeply rooted in East Asian family structures and social terminology.
