U+5AB9 "媹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
媹
U+5AB9 "媹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively obscure Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, and it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin. Its composition combines the radical “女” (nǚ, meaning woman or female) with the phonetic component “留” (liú, meaning to stay or remain). The character is traditionally read as liú in Chinese, and while it does not appear in everyday vocabulary, it is recorded in classical Chinese dictionaries such as the Kangxi Zidian, where it is defined as a term for a woman's name or a descriptive term related to women, though its exact usage remains rare and largely historical.
