U+5AB6 "媶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5AB6 "媶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that is generally considered a variant form of the more common character 容 (róng), which means "to contain," "appearance," or "countenance." Historically, 媶 is composed of the radical 女 (nǚ, meaning "woman" or "female") on the left and the phonetic component 容 (róng) on the right, suggesting it may have been used in specific contexts to denote a female-related meaning or a particular name in classical texts. Its usage is extremely limited in modern Chinese, and it is not found in standard dictionaries or common writing, often appearing only in specialized historical or linguistic archives. The character represents a fascinating but largely forgotten piece of the expansive CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set, which documents thousands of logographs from historical East Asian scripts.
